Beautiful summer sail around Lopez. Good to see long line of Common Murres and an especial treat to see a pair of Tufted Puffins. A new young Humpback whale joined us at Coalville Island and swam alongside North in Rosario Strait. Blakey Island forest so different on the West to the the East – 2 climates on one island. Peregrine Falcon made the day just when we thought it doesn’t get any better than this.
