New comers will be glad to know they have a free anchoring option other than paying for a slip.
BTW, when you arrive at Friday Harbor you may tie up at the breakwater for free for a short time while you run to the store or grab a shower. There is no need to request permission, simply squeeze in where you can. Try to get on the inside, the outside takes a real beating from wakes. (so will your boat) If you spend the night at the breakwater the harbormaster staff will come and collect payment eventually. There is no discomfort discount so you may as well get a slip (call on 66) for peace and quiet and water and electricity, none of which you will find out on the breakwater float.
