^^^^^ha ha ha, I had to rally enlarge the pic to see The Rosebud. I had her pegged for one of the shoulder or waist (???) straps under the tarp....then I found her. "Where's Rosebud". A whole new rainy Friday night game

Looks like you were waiting in line for a ferry, Apogee. Where was that shot taken?

Anacortes?
EDTI:
Has to be Anacortes. The line-up on Orcas is nowhere near as expansive as the Anacortes holding area.

I do.
I have a cousin who has a place on San Juan Island, and I like to drop in on him when I'm in the neighborhood. That requires a ferry ride, which is an event in itself. Front-row seat to some of the most awesome scenery anywhere. I've made that run over a dozen times, and it gets better every trip.
This one's from a couple years back, but it's both dog related and San Juan Islands related:
( Mom and step-dad Bill w/dog, and cousin Mitch )
We were at the lighthouse that day on Lime Kiln Point ( San Juan Island ):
( being a total professional, I got my shot, while juggling family, dog, tricky winds [ kite and camera got stuck in one of those trees, until the wind came up and lifted them out, while my cousin laughed his ass off ] and ferry schedules )
This year:
I love ships and things nautical. But I can't see myself cooped up on a cruise ship anymore than I want to check into a hotel and stay there. But the ferries through the San Juans are my kind of cruise. I can't recommend a ferry trip to Friday Harbor or Orcas and back highly enough.
I was visiting my folks. What were you doing up there, Apogee? We may have crossed paths. ( I'll buy the first beer if it ever happens again )

My crag buddy Buster. Most chilled dog ever, he really is one of the boyz.
Here he is in his element at our local Arkansas crag.

Funny you took an on-deck pic, Chaz...me, too:
I was just visiting Orcas for some fun-time...known about it for many years, but never been there. Stayed two nights in Doe Harbor, and we had such a good time we stayed another night on the other side of the island (Deer Harbor).
I will definitely be back...would love to do some sea kayaking around the Islands. I'll keep an eye out for a kite-flying guy with Dobies, and buy the next round!
Edit: Wow...your folks live in the SJ Islands? Nice to have a regular bivy spot like that!
