Tucked into old Douglas firs that look like they have weathered many a coastal
storm is the nautical-infused Captain Whidbey Inn, a historical gem situated on
the mussel-stocked waters of Whidbey Island in Washington State. Chris Fisher
and his son Edward built the original structure in 1907 from materials like
Madrona logs and stone found on the land, dubbing it the Whid-Isle Inn. It
opened shortly after as part of an island retreat named Still Park, aptly named
and developed by Judge Lester Still.

Since then, it has served many different purposes, including a private
residence, a boarding house, a post office, an all-girls school, a general
store, and now, once again, an inn.


A NEW BEGINNING







After several years of owning and operating the Pioneertown Motel outside of
Joshua Tree, California, brothers Matt and Mike French and their business
partner, Eric Cheong, were on the hunt for another project. Explains Mike, “Matt
and I grew up in Portland, Oregon, and Eric has a depth of experience sailing in
the Salish Sea off the coast of Washington, so Whidbey Island felt like a
natural fit for all of us. The first visit to the property revealed the magic of
Captain Whidbey, and we were determined to move forward.”


RENOVATING WITH CARE







The French brothers and Cheong bought the inn in 2018 and began thinking of how
to reimagine the property’s lodging with a nod to local culture, relying on
Cheong, an architect, for his design expertise. They undertook a property-wide
renovation, which included the Penn Cove cabins set apart from the main lodging.
Each one is themed and named after a different area company. “We partnered with
brands that are emblematic of the Pacific Northwest experience,” says Mike. “We
aimed to work with an on-island partner as well as with heritage Seattle
partners.”

In fact, it is built into their ethos to spotlight local businesses and reflect
the culture in every facet of their property. Mike explains, “In all our
projects, working with local vendors, artisans, and purveyors is incredibly
important. By doing so, we can support the community and build real soul into
the work. One of my favorite details on the property is the mural on the
horseshoe bar. If you look closely, you’ll see a Morse code message in the
painting, which reads a quote from a Whidbey Island poet.”

For Mike, the most rewarding part of owning Captain Whidbey is fostering the
many special moments that happen on the property. “We have restored and
amplified a space for genuine connection and spirited connection,” he says. “The
legacy of Captain Whidbey lives on through these experiences and really hits
home why we do the work.”


LODGING







For the most authentic experience, guests can stay in the Historic Lodge, the
heart of the inn. The lodge has retained much of its original 1907 character,
including the shared bathrooms and rustic ambience. Here you can easily cozy up
on a couch in front of the stone fireplace and read the night away with a good
book.

Another option is the Lagoon Rooms, which surround a body of water originally
built as a swimming hole for the inn. Each features custom furnishings built by
John Gnorski, a California artist and builder whose work is detailed and precise
and brings a fun vibe to the guest experience. The beds all sport woven blankets
by Whidbey native and weaver Hannah Ruth Levi, who spent a winter weaving the
custom blankets that have become statement pieces on the bedspreads.

Finally, there are four waterfront Penn Cove cabins, which are all outfitted
through collaborations with beloved Pacific Northwest tastemakers Filson,
Glasswing, We the Nomads, and Edit. Each includes a fireplace, a king-sized bed,
and private porches.


DINING







Guests can expect locally sourced and seasonally minded menus that showcase the
bounty of Whidbey Island, all while being treated to a water view. The Penn Cove
Mussels are a crowd favorite, and you can even see the Penn Cove Shellfish docks
where they harvest the mussels for delivery nationwide. (How’s that for fresh
seafood?) Other mouthwatering eats on the menu include Salish Sea Clam Chowder
and a panko-crusted Penn Cove Brewing beer-battered fish-and-chips.


THINGS TO DO







Captain Whidbey is located in Coupeville, one of Washington’s oldest towns and
the seat of Island County. Guests interested in venturing off property can take
a ferry to the quaint historic waterfront town to explore its many charming
shops and restaurants or visit its surrounding parks, such as Ebey’s Landing
National Historical Reserve, which offers over 17,000 acres of scenic landscape,
accessible beaches, and stunning trails. You can also check out Deception Pass,
a marine and camping park that boasts hiking, biking, and horse trails.

For those looking for a cozier stay, the inn offers a buffet of activities and
happenings. There is a wellness studio and sauna for yoga and meditation and
complimentary s’mores kits at the front desk to enjoy around the outdoor
firepits. You can also try a whiskey flight, challenge yourself to some trivia
with cash prizes, or show up to a Love Notes hour, where you can compose sweet
messages to those who have passed on or to cherished friends who are right next
to you. Or simply call dibs on an outdoor hammock, close your eyes, and breathe
in the heady scent of pine.

Captain Whidbey resides at the intersection of design, nature, and history,
drawing a diverse collection of visitors from around the world. The owners have
created an environment that is at once simple and luxurious, transporting guests
to a different era. Its many iterations vibrate in the wood and stone bones of
the inn, a testament to the enduring spirit of Whidbey Island.

While cooking is an essential part of life, it’s also an art form that requires
a mix of skills and creativity. Of course, you may feel that neither comes
naturally to you, but that doesn’t mean you’re forever hopeless in the kitchen.
With a little time and practice, and with a few key tactics, you, too, can
channel your inner professional chef and start dazzling with your meals.


INVEST IN THE BEST PANS







Being a good cook requires first familiarizing yourself with the essential
tools—especially frying pans. These are a must-have for every kitchen since you
need them to sauté, fry, sear, and braise your foods. And because they’re so
important, you’ll want to make sure you’re investing in quality ones. Don’t just
buy the cheapest set out of convenience. Instead, conduct some research first,
looking at the longevity of the pans and how evenly they cook foods. You’ll be
able to use them for years to come as long as you take the time to find the
right ones.

On top of that, it’s important to understand the differences between the three
main types of frying pans—nonstick, stainless steel, and cast iron—because you
can’t cook just any food in any pan. For instance, cooking anything acidic in
cast iron can result in a metallic taste and damage the seasonings that have
developed in the pan over time. Be sure to research which pan is best for which
foods and how to properly maintain each one. All serve a specific purpose in the
kitchen: stainless steel is ideal for more delicate foods like vegetables and
fish, cast iron works well for anything needing an extremely high heat, and
nonstick is best for low-heat foods like pancakes and omelets.


MASTER YOUR KNIFE SKILLS







There’s no getting around it—cooking requires using a knife, whether to chop
vegetables, slice meat, or cut fruit. So if you’ve ever felt uncomfortable
wielding one, then perhaps it’s time to improve your skills. It all starts with
how you hold the knife. First, place the thumb and index finger of your dominant
hand on each side of the bolster (the connector between the blade and the
handle). This will protect your fingers while also increasing comfort and
stability. Then wrap the rest of your fingers around the handle. Hold the food
item with your other hand, being sure to curl your fingertips inward to allow
your knuckles to guide the knife along the item. Using a rocking motion, move
the knife up and down and front to back to make your cuts.

Once you’re more comfortable holding the knife, you can practice various
chopping, dicing, and slicing methods. Each one can be used for different foods
and purposes. Chopping is good for foods you want to cut into small pieces that
are roughly the same size, such as garlic and herbs. Dicing creates uniform
squares to help foods like onions and potatoes cook evenly. And slicing is best
for when you want larger pieces of equal thickness, as with an apple or a
tomato. Just remember that all this work can take a toll on your knives, so it’s
important to sharpen them yourself every two weeks and get them professionally
sharpened at least once a year.


PRACTICE BALANCING FLAVORS







Seasoning is everything when it comes to cooking—it can even make or break a
dish. After all, no one wants to eat undersalted foods that taste a bit bland or
oversalted foods that are overly intense. Learning how to use seasonings, which
include spices, herbs, salt, sugar, oil, and vinegar, is essential for
developing well-rounded flavors that complement the recipe and specific
ingredients you’re using. You should ideally season at every stage of the
cooking process, tasting each element as you go. This way, you can adjust your
flavors where needed, looking for spots that need more salt, pepper, lemon
juice, or anything else your recipe might call for.

As you familiarize yourself with seasoning, you can also work on recognizing the
five overall flavors: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. You likely know
what the first four taste like, but umami is a little harder to recognize. It’s
that certain richness found in savory dishes with ingredients like soy sauce,
kimchi, anchovies, sun-dried tomatoes, or different cheeses. These five elements
ultimately work together to create well-balanced dishes that have a greater
depth of flavor. If you taste a dish and it feels like it’s missing something,
it might just mean you need to increase at least one of these elements. In that
case, simply add in more of a specific seasoning or ingredient until you arrive
at the perfect flavor.


REMEMBER: MISE EN PLACE







A lot of cooking comes down to prep work and timing. Mise en place, a French
culinary term, refers to having everything in one place before you even begin
cooking. This means cutting your vegetables, measuring out your spices and other
ingredients, and marinating your meats all at once rather than as you go. This
can take a lot of stress out of the process since you won’t accidentally burn
your broccoli while you’re distracted chopping your garlic. Have every
ingredient you need ready to go on your counter, and then go ahead and get
cooking!

Cooking is a skill that you can develop over time with a lot of patience and
practice. And as you grow in the art form, you can experiment with more
challenging recipes that are sure to impress your friends and family.

Share these tips for becoming a better cook with friends and family.

Does the peak of summer tempt your wanderlust? If so, heed the call to blaze
your trail across the nearly four million miles of American asphalt. Whether you
go it alone, grab a friend, or pack up the whole family, it’s about time you
burned rubber toward the pristine beaches, mountain trails, far-off loved ones,
and landmarks that have lingered on your must-visit list for way too long. But
before you hit the road, invest a little time in preparing for your
long-distance travel. Even an unscripted road trip has a few basic essentials
beyond a car and a thirst for adventure.


PREPARE YOUR VEHICLE







Every road trip movie has an inevitable burnout scene: the engine sputters, and
the driver pulls onto the shoulder, then raises the hood to release a cloud of
smoke. If you’d rather not be in those shoes, schedule a few maintenance tasks
for your vehicle ahead of your trip. Popular Mechanics recommends checking the
six essential fluids—engine oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, engine
coolant, transmission fluid, and windshield wiper fluid—before any long drive.
You should also check your tires’ air pressure before departing and after every
1,000 miles traveled.

For extra assuredness, hand your vehicle over to a mechanic for a comprehensive
safety inspection. And if you notice anything concerning while driving, like
unusual noises or odors, find the nearest auto shop; a pit stop may throw off
your schedule—or free-spirit vibe—but so would a roadside breakdown. Just in
case, stock your car with practical essentials, such as jumper cables and a
flashlight. For a list of what to include in your emergency car kit, download
the guide below.

Finally, remember to fuel or charge up before long drives, and always carry your
driver’s license and an up-to-date copy of your auto insurance.


PREPARE YOURSELF







Even if you’re a road warrior in your own right, take care to prepare your mind
and body for the rigors of long-distance travel. Get seven to nine hours of
sleep every night before you get behind the wheel, and eat a nutritious meal
before you depart—but avoid overeating, which may just make you sluggish.


PACK APPROPRIATELY

Packing light can keep your vehicle unburdened, but don’t skimp on road trip
necessities, the most basic of which is currency. Any beatnik inclinations
aside, you need a combination of cash and cards for everything from fuel and
accommodations to souvenirs if you want to have a satisfying road trip.
Additionally, even if you’re eager to go off-grid, you should still bring a cell
phone for emergencies and navigation assistance. And always pack an extra
charger for when you inevitably leave the other in a hotel room outlet.

You’ll also want to prepare for other contingencies as you travel. Pack enough
clothing and toiletries for at least one extra full day away in case delays,
changed plans, or a wayward ice-cream cone depletes your supplies. Include extra
items for your little ones too—they always seem to be messier when you’re far
from home. If you have a furry companion, protect your upholstery from damage
with this Frisco Seat Cover, and make sure to let them out every time you make a
pit stop.


GATHER YOUR GEAR







If you plan to spend your nights camping, be sure to research legal campgrounds
along your route rather than pitching a tent unpermitted. Look up each
campground’s rules—its website or entrance booth will likely post information
about fire regulations, trash disposal, and more. Pack a tent, cooler, safety
equipment, hygiene goods like biodegradable soap, and cooking tools. So that you
leave only footprints behind, take a traveler’s dining set like this Coleman
pack in lieu of plastics.

Other adventure tools are the traveler’s choice, such as a high-resolution
camera for documenting your travels, a notepad for collecting your open-road
thoughts, and sports equipment like bikes or kayaks for when a local park allows
them—and the scenery triggers your adrenaline.


TAKE NOURISHMENT







Water and satisfying snacks are must-haves. If you anticipate traveling long
hours outside of civilization, bring a cooler packed with balanced foods like
bread, peanut butter, honey, and apples as fare for roadside picnics. (The
wicker basket and buffalo check blanket are optional.) This Igloo cooler is
roomy and well insulated but affordable, and it’s also a handy mobile bench.


PLAN YOUR ROUTE

If you have a specific destination in mind, pull up your favorite navigation app
and review all recommended routes, taking note of road closures, tolls, and
high-congestion roadways before choosing an approach. If you’re setting out with
only the depths of your soul or a mental breakthrough as your destination,
review the current conditions along your path out of town and scan the
surrounding highways during each break for travel interruptions so you know
which paths to avoid.


PRACTICE GOOD DRIVING HABITS







To prevent driving sores, sit up straight in the captain’s seat, and pull over
at a rest stop or safe parking area approximately every two hours to get out of
the car and stretch your legs. This will also help you avoid “highway hypnosis,”
which is when your attention blurs and endless roadways start to feel too
redundant to hold your focus, and give you a chance to have a snack, get
caffeinated if you partake, and switch drivers if possible. As a bonus, you can
use these stops as opportunities to take in the local flavor, especially in
unfamiliar areas.


STAY ENTERTAINED







If you’re more invested in the destination than the journey, a long road trip
may feel like a slog to you, so prepare a bevy of entertainment to help the
clock and odometer spin a little faster. Queue up your favorite music,
audiobooks, and podcasts—it’s a good thing you have that extra phone charger—and
bring activities for impatient passengers. Toys and portable video game consoles
are particularly effective at silencing back seat complaints. For collaborative
fun, turn to tried-and-true road trip games like Twenty Questions and Would You
Rather? If those don’t suffice, check out The Road Trip Expert for dozens of
other game ideas you can try.


A BREADTH OF OPPORTUNITIES

No matter where you’re coming from or where you’re headed toward, there’s always
something unexpected and fresh to experience on the way: a state park, historic
landmark, or diner favored by truck drivers and other roadsters. If you’re
unsure what awaits you on your unique route, Road Trip USA offers must-see
recommendations ranging from conventional tourist stops to our nation’s
best-kept secrets—and everything in between.

The night sky is filled with endless wonder, including meteors—which we can
observe as they enter the earth’s atmosphere—and collections of them, known as
meteor showers. Robert Lunsford, fireball report manager and contributing editor
for the American Meteor Society, discusses the marvel of meteor showers and
offers essential viewing tips.







Meteor showers are surprisingly predictable. Why is that the case?

Meteors are produced by comets or asteroids whose orbits are well-known—the
earth intersects them at pretty much the same time every year. It may change by
a few hours or a day or two each year, but we have a good idea of when they’re
going to happen, so we can advise people on when they can see the best activity.

You’re a fireball report manager. What exactly are fireballs?

A fireball is basically a meteor that’s larger and brighter than normal; it
equals or surpasses the brightness of Venus. They’re quite rare and
unpredictable since most are not related to any known shower. Earlier this year,
though, for only the seventh time ever, scientists were able to predict when one
would occur.

Scientists are so interested in fireballs because a meteor must be at least that
bright to survive the atmosphere and produce meteorites. But whether meteorites
fall to earth depends on their angle of descent and velocity when they enter the
atmosphere. If either is too great, they’re going to be vaporized. And even when
they do touch down, the original meter-sized object is usually reduced to just a
couple of few-ounce fragments at best.







Does that mean meteors can’t destroy cities like in the movies?

[Laughs] To be honest, they’re not hot, like the movies show—they don’t start
fires or destroy buildings. You won’t even find things such as hot coals on the
ground. From about five miles up, our cold atmosphere cools them.

Is there a holy grail of meteor showers?

One was last year’s Tau Herculid, the result of a comet that basically fell
apart back in 1995. But the true holy grail is the Leonid meteor shower, which
produced two of the best displays ever recorded in November 1833 and November
1966. The latter was completely unexpected. Experts thought that the Leonid had
petered out because it hadn’t produced any displays since 1866, so it was a huge
surprise to see it come alive again a century later.

The Leonid was also pretty spectacular in 2001, producing up to seven meteors
per second. To put that into perspective, the best showers normally produce one
or two meteors per minute. Naturally, they don’t come once every sixty seconds
like clockwork—you can go five minutes without seeing anything, and then you’ll
have two or three within a minute. But the best showers can reach two hundred an
hour in the darkest places.







What’s the best way to view meteor showers?

You want to be in a wide field so you can see as much sky as possible, and the
darker your sky, the more meteors you’ll be able to see. Binoculars have a much
wider field of view than telescopes and are quite useful for seeing meteors that
produce trains, which are lines of smoke that twist and twirl in the upper
atmospheric winds after the meteors disappear.

Pay attention to the schedule too. During summertime in the Northern Hemisphere,
things pick up and it gets a lot more entertaining, even during the evening
hours. For example, if you want to watch the Perseids, which occurs from
mid-July through August, start as soon as it gets dark. You’ll see five or six
meteors per hour, and that will only increase as the night progresses—up to
about sixty per hour toward dawn.

One thing that’s helpful to us is when people log meteors and their parameters,
such as the time and conditions. That tells us exactly when the earth passes
through the densest part of these meteor showers, which enables us to make more
accurate predictions for the following year.







Ultimately, what do you get out of these experiences?

When I’m out watching these events, I’ll often think, There’s really no such
thing as a random meteor. At one time, it belonged to something that fell apart,
but it has become so dispersed through the years, it’s no longer recognizable. I
often wonder what body it came from. Could it have been an asteroid, a comet, or
even another planet? Those are the kinds of deep thoughts you can have between
seeing meteors.

It’s really up to you how immersed you want to get in this activity. You can try
to find out everything possible about what’s up there, or you can just lie back
and enjoy the show. Either way, you never know when that fireball might zip
overhead and illuminate the entire sky or produce a train. It’s mostly a big
surprise, and it’s well worth the wait.
