Destination: Deer Harbor, Orcas Island WA (June 2025)

Follow along as my sailor sweetie and I explore Deer Harbor Marina, where neither of us have been in about a decade. Some things have changed, some things haven’t! No music, no special effects, just the natural sights and sounds out here. This is the San Juan islands in June, 2025. Thank you for your comments, likes and shares as I bring you snippets of my daily life out here in the Salish Sea! Let me know in the comments if there’s something you’d like to see/experience out here. - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - + - - About this channel/me: A bit of a Jill-of-all-trades, I wear many hats: artist, nature nerd, sailor’s first mate, island explorer, bushwhacker, animal trail seeker, amateur builder, permaculture/regenerative gardener/farmer-in-training… My name is Jill Bliss, Salish Sea artist & nature nerd. Here I take you along on my low-key adventures and nature art escapades among the Salish Sea islands. My pokey island internet connection dictates that videos can’t be more than a few minutes long - it takes half a day to upload a 2 minute video! My dog buddy Jasper is always by my side. Sometimes we team up with my sailor sweetie on his sailboat to visit other islands. Besides making local flora & fauna art, I’m also building a year-round half-acre home, art studio & garden from scratch on a small island out here among the many seasonal vacation homes and undeveloped natural areas.
