图书描述

In the beginning<br > Like the legendary continent of Atlantis, the San Juan Islands lie<br >largely beneath tile sea. They are peaks of a sunken mountain range<br >which anciently joined Vancouver Island and what is now the state of<br >Washington.<br > Around this enchanting archipelago, some 75 miles north north-<br >west from Seattle, is a maze of straits and bays, the mecca of thousands<br >of pleasure boats in summer.<br > If one could forsake the shoreside cottages, placid villages, oil<br >docks, ferryboats and moorages and descend into the salty depths, he<br >would be in a nest of solidly massed rocky hills, some faced with sheer<br >vertical cliffs.<br > An inquisitive frogman would find deep valleys and subterranean<br >mountains of long grass on the bottom. Near the surface he would see<br >floating patches of giant ribbon kelp marking the shoals, places where<br >the range thrusts upward and nearly breaks through.<br > At very lowest tides 788 islands, large and small, are exposed; at<br >high tide 456 are visible. Of these 175 are large enough to bear names.<br >The rest are minute specks among the tide rips.<br > Not all are in San Juan County. Lummi, Cypress and Guemes are<br >part of the geographical entity known as the San Juans, but are part of<br > Whatcom and Skagit counties. Orcas is the largest, with 56.9 square<br > miles sprawled in the shape of a gigantic pair of saddlebags. San Juan<br > is 1.5 square miles smaller than Orcas. Lopez, totaling 29.5 square<br > miles, is third. Lummi, Cypress, Shaw, Guemes, Blakely, Waldron<br > and Decatur are next in the order of their size.<br > The main group of the San I ua ns is midway between Anacortes and<br > Victoria, B.C. and it is 73 miles from Shilshole Bay to Friday Harbor.<br > Some reach as far north as Bellingham. This miniature world rises up<br >
