Great kayaking day-trip near Deception Pass in Washington State, from Bowman Bay past Reservation Head, out to Deception Island. Explored the island and had lunch with a beautiful view overlooking Deception Pass. Afterwards we explored the island by kayak along its shoreline, then paddled over to Rosario Head and explored the Deception Pass Underwater Gardens. Saw multiple jelly fish including large "Fried Egg" and Lions Mane Jellyfish in several rich kelp beds.
