Marge and Ted Mueller are known for their intimate knowledge of the San Juans. In addition to boating (including details on launches and anchorages), the Muellers highlight opportunities for bicycling, camping, hiking, picnicking, scuba diving, beachcombing, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing. They offer their personal tips on when to go, how to get around (the ferry system, simplified!), and how best to enjoy the islands.
