Around the Island in October – Autumn Sailing – So good to see so many diving birds and gulls pointing out the resurgence in schools of herring. And especially thrilling when lunging through the congregation comes Minke whales with mouths agape. Dalls porpoise took time away from fishing to play on our bow, a breaching Stellar Sea Lion porpoised behind us and sky caught fire with the setting sun. Barbecued supper in paradise.
