With a choice between high temperatures inland or cooler weather on the coast, I chose to drive up the coast of California and Oregon before turning eastward to Portland.  From there, I explored two big islands, Bainbridge and Vancouver, and a few smaller islands, Denman, Hornby, Swan.  Thus, I have MANY photos of water!
