Roche Harbor

I'm trying to think what the name of that island is.

What is it? Yeah, we were at Roche Harbor, and we went up to go see this, there's a chapel up there.

On the way up there, Darren comes across this group of kids, they're going through a Ouija board, and then you find out he's the youth leader of his church.

Tell us about that.

Yeah, so we went up to the mausoleum on Roche Harbor, where the founders there, all their ashes are in these chairs.

And so we hiked up there, Andrea and I, and there's all these kids, and so we had already done the hike, so we wanted to see that table and that thing.

It's another story.

I was with Troy Brewer on the San Juan Islands.

We're out in Roche Harbor and there's this mausoleum out there.

And my wife and I, we hiked up into this mausoleum and it's this crazy thing.

They say it's haunted.

As the Oregon mariners soon learned, their fears were absolutely correct.

The Challenger had put to sea on October 24th, carrying 3,800 barrels of Roche Harbor lime and 150,000 board feet of lumber, essentially tinder and kindling for the slow-burning ocean-going fire that was to come.

At first, there was no sign of trouble.

After a four-day spell of dead calm in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the wind kicked up, a steady, pleasant breeze out of the northeast, perfect for making rapid headway toward the vessel's destination of San Francisco.

You have a lot of nice places you can go anchor, a lot of nice places to dock.

Then when you go up to the San Juans, which are a day away, then you have Friday Harbor, Roche Harbor.

You've probably heard of those.

But you also have islands that you can go tuck in and anchor and even take a dinghy over to Friday Harbor.
