On our recent boating adventure around the San Juans we stopped off in the small hamlet of Olga on the southern shores of Orcas Island. Olga overlooks the pretty waters of Buck Bay and has a public dock where you can tie up for two hours without having to pay a fee. It was named after the wife of the first postmaster and is now home to an art gallery, some inns, a store with a gas pump, a US post office, and a cafe. It also has a smattering of cute cottages and farms.
A sign on the dock welcomes visitors...

Farewell Olga...
