    Join us for an amazing day of shrimping, crabbing, and hiking in the beautiful San Juan Islands of Washington State. We caught Dungeness crabs, spotted prawns and hiked on a secluded island. Consider subscribing to follow along on our 10-year journey of retirement travel adventures around the world. Thanks, John and Bev

    I went to the San Juan Islands years ago. What a beautiful and laid back place. We were able to see a bunch of Orca's free jumping.

    I had never heard of these islands until your Instagram post from your trip and now your video. Are you connected with the channel, "Gladys and Kenny?" They sold everything and have been traveling around the world. They're a super sweet couple who have visited some incredible places. Those crabs are going to make an amazing meal. Loved the shrimp too. Going to add the San Juan Islands to our list. Safe travels.
