My husband and I grew up on the Oregon Coast and developed strong ties to small communities and the Pacific Ocean. During college we spent our summers working on San Juan Island and soon realized this was a place of unique beauty that kept calling us back every year. Fortunately our lively-hoods took us in the direction of the arts, nature & wildlife, a perfect combination that allowed us to make this special island our home.
Danielle purchased this house in 2002
Our property is a true paradise with privacy and spaciousness. At any given time a variety of wildlife can be spotted either walking by or flying above. Glimpses of Westcott Bay are just in the distance with fresh seafood to suit a King. The quaint & historic seaside village of Roche Harbor Resort backs our property offering a multitude of activities, restaurants and shopping.
Whether you just need a true escape or plan special family get togethers, Quarry Point Retreat is a perfect destination.
We recently spent a week in mid-September with our son, daughter-in-law and their 3 year old and couldn't have imagined a nicer place to be for a lazy vacation. The private vacation home is situated with water views on three sides with a very sizable yard for playing games with our grandson or just watching the ever-present deer. The home has a open layout that was great for those cooking and those just keeping the cooks company, but quite quiet for late sleepers. The owners have thought of just everything that visitors might need from a closet full of board games to a rice steamer (read over what is listed in the vacation home...all is really there). And the owners greeted us just after arrival with fresh coffee beans and fruit. We spent lots of time on the deck that has lounging furniture, table and chairs and a gas grill. This rental is in Roche Harbor which has good dining and some shopping, but only 15 minutes from Friday Harbor where the ferry lands. We were able to kayak easily from Roche Harbor and saw many seals in the fairly calm waters. Although the island isn't too hilly for biking, the roads are narrow. It's better to take the ferry with bikes to Orcas Island for a day of cycling. But, there are more things to do on San Juan Island than you can pack in in one week anyway. We enjoyed the Alpaca Farm and watching the Orca Whales off Lime Kiln Park.
We had a lovely stay with our family. Very child friendly and a wonderful, extremely peaceful setting for a getaway. Management very helpful.
We were thrilled with both the home and location....very quick walk right into Roche Harbor. Owners checked in on us and we're just a delight. Home is plush with a fully stocked kitchen and barbecue. We would definitely come again. *****
We absolutely loved staying at this home. The large deck in the back is wonderful along with the pretty lawn and lovely views of the water. Everything is well maintained and the house is very clean. Roche Harbor is beautiful and there is lots to do. We rented mopeds one day and had a great time. You can't go wrong with this house and the owner Danielle is very helpful.
I want to Thank Danielle for providing such a lovely home. We were on the Island for our son's wedding at Roach Harbor. We required two things. The home needed to be handicap accessible and have extra space for the rehearsal dinner. This home met those requirements. The extra benefit was that the home was "just around the bend" from the resort.
The homes large deck and open floor plan allowed the dinner to flow easily, everyone loved the HUGE yard, beautiful view of the water and the over sized deck. The owners are on sight which is very nice. My last minute calls were returned quickly. the home is very clean and well appointed. Bedding and towels are very nice. You wont be disappointed.
The island of San Juan is beautiful, lush, green and filled with wildlife. The weather in late August and early September make it a perfect place to relax and just enjoy the surroundings. Whale watching and kayaking in the Pugent sound were both excellent. The house has everything you need to just move right in and enjoy. The location is beautiful and the house was very comfortable for 4 adults. Easy for seniors also. The Roche Harbor facilities close by were excellent and the 7 mile drive to Friday Harbor was well worth it also. Spent one day in Sydney, BC. Easy commute via ferry system.
Can't wait to return to this part of the country.
We spent time the last week of August in this home and were so happy here. The house was clean, very comfortable and well appointed. We have a 2 and 7 year old and they both loved the house and running around in the back yard. Sitting on the deck for meals was lovely to see the water and we saw many deer visiting. We will definitely come back. The house is in such a nice location - walking to Roche Harbor for ice cream, taking the 3 mile loop for excercise, walking to the sculpture garden. Couldn't have asked for a better house.

Summary Finding 2.1: The flow of hydrocarbons that led to the blowout of the Macondo well began when drilling mud was displaced by seawater during the temporary abandonment process.2,3
Summary Finding 2.2: The decision to proceed to displacement of the drilling mud by seawater was made despite a failure to demonstrate the integrity of the cement job even after multiple negative pressure tests. This was but one of a series of questionable decisions in the days preceding the blowout that had the effect of reducing the margins of safety and that evidenced a lack of safety-driven decision making.
Summary Finding 2.3: The reservoir formation, encompassing multiple zones of varying pore pressures and fracture gradients, posed significant challenges to isolation using casing and cement. The approach chosen for well completion failed to provide adequate margins of safety and led to multiple potential failure mechanisms.
Finding 2.4: The sequence of fluids used to cement the Macondo well included a low-density foamed slurry followed by a dense un-foamed tail slurry. The foam cement was designed to have a density of 14.5 ppg at the bottom of the well, but at the surface, where the foam was mixed, the density was extremely light at around 6 ppg. The tail slurry had a density of 16.7 ppg. Because of the extreme density imbalance, the heavy tail cement on top of the foamed cement would have been gravitationally unstable near the surface, and it probably fell into and perhaps through the foamed slurry. This would have had the unintended effect of leaving a tail slurry containing foamed cement in the shoe track at the bottom of the casing rather than leaving the heavy, un-foamed tail cement.
Finding 2.5: Foamed cement that may have been inadvertently left in the shoe track would likely not have developed the compressive strength of the un-foamed cement, nor would it have had the strength to resist crushing when the differential pressure across the cement was increased during the negative test.

ROCKINGHAM — Sheriff's deputies charged two people on Wednesday with selling prescription painkillers to buyers working with drug investigators.
Carrie Thomas Holder, 34, of 155 E. Eason Drive, Rockingham, is accused of selling eight oxycodone pills to an informant between Nov. 1, 2013, and Wednesday, according to an arrest warrant.
Kaslo Deon McKinnon, 31, of 704 Armstead St., Rockingham, allegedly sold 10 hydrocodone pills to another informant, deputies said in court documents.
Oxycodone and hydrocodone are opioid painkillers prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain and are among the most-abused prescription medications, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
Holder is charged with selling or delivering a Schedule II controlled substance, possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a Schedule II controlled substance and maintaining a vehicle for storage of a controlled substance.
McKinnon faces charges of trafficking opium or heroin, selling or delivering a Schedule III controlled substance and possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a Schedule III controlled substance.

I don't drink so No marina bars which is a good thing and a bad or rainy nights like this. I'm goin to go to Seattle too so I'm see what types are there. I think the San Juan Islands(and Gulf) have an older demographic in the first place. I know port Townsend where I started is in the oldest county in Washington by a lot. But I'm sure that's not all there is.
Since I was thinking about this subject today I picked up a magazine and it was the blue water special so it's main Artie was about a couples four year circumnavigation and I thought before I read it. Ten bucks they're retired and. They were.
its cheap while you are living aboard not when its dock or something is broken. Things being broken I suppose depends on how badly I get screwed on that 1100 dollar Catalina huh lol

American Sports Development Announces GT Line of Markers.
GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 11, 2003
American Sports Development Group Inc. (OTCBB:ASDP) and Paintball Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, today announced the GT-line of markers (Paintball guns).
The GT line of markers is the successor to the original GT 2000, which has developed a reputation for its extremely durable design within the paintball industry.
The GTV1 is an extremely exciting unit that should lead the market with its $84.95 entry-level price point and, its flexibility. Unlike most all other entry-level markers, the GTV1 is designed to be easily upgraded with components from higher priced paintball markers that are widely available at upscale paintball stores.
The GTF (Field Master) is a marker that features a quick strip mechanism that allows the paintball field operator to disassemble the marker in just a few seconds. Combined with the proven durability of the GT design, the average field operator should see a significant reduction in labor cost from maintenance, compared with other paintball markers in the marketplace.
With a wholesale price that is $50 less than the most popular current field marker, Paintball Inc. hopes to have an important impact in the lucrative field rental marker business.
The GTVe (Electronic) paintball marker at retail price of $119.95 is one of the lowest price point markers in the industry for any marker that will fire 10+ balls per second. As with all GT markers the gun can easily be upgraded with industry standard attachments.
Company President and CEO William Fairbanks stated: "Our company vice president Doug Brown has been working on developing the new GTVe for well over a year. With a wholesale price that is significantly lower than just about any other electronic marker in the marketplace of comparable quality, we hope to be able to make inroads into the mass merchant and big box retailers. The marketplace is starting to demand the more sophisticated electronic-based markers that were, until recently, only available in much higher priced product."

Significance and Use
5.1 This test method may be used for the acceptance testing of commercial shipments of GCLs but caution is advised since information about between-laboratory precision is incomplete. Comparative tests as directed in 5.1.1 may be advisable.
5.1.1 In cases of a dispute arising from differences in reported test results when using this test method for acceptance of shipments, the purchaser and the supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there is a statistical bias. The two parties should take a group of test samples that are as homogeneous as possible and which are from the lot of material in question.
5.2 Some modification of clamping techniques may be necessary for a given GCL depending upon its structure. Specimen clamping may be modified as required at the discretion of the individual laboratory providing a representative tensile strength is obtained. In any event, the procedure described in Section 10 of this test method for obtaining tensile strength must be maintained.
5.3 This test method is applicable for testing GCLs as received. It is used with a constant rate of extension type tension apparatus.
1. Scope
1.1 The test method establishes the procedures for the measurement of tensile strength of Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL). This test method is strictly an index test method to be used to verify the tensile strength of GCLs. Results from this test method should not be considered as an indication of actual or long-term performance of the geosynthetic(s) in field applications.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.3 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
