We sailed north into God’s Country: Flattop, White Rock, Skipjack, then headlong into the waters above Boiling Reef. The transients had been there for 2 days, but decided leave two minutes before we arrived. We swirled around in the currents alongside numerous harbor porpoise to make our way back to East Point and down to Bare Island returning by way of President’s Channel lit by the sunset. Rhinoceros auklets with mouthfuls of small fish dotted the channel. No guarantees – this ain’t Sea World; it’s as real as it gets. Come with us.
