Once you leave the San juans, you may cross over to the Canadian Gulf islands (contrary to what Edelweiss says, none of us refer to our Gulf Islands any other way). You will likely check in at Bedwell Harbour, at the Poet's Cove resort. Good walking, minimal shopping, a very nice up-scale resort. Or anchor off the Marine Park. After that, there are dozens of nice places to visit. For shopping, Ganges is the biggest in the Gulf islands, or go to Sidney on Vancouver Island (check in there too). We have been cruising in the Gulf Islands for 40 yrs and haven't tired of it yet.
