October 20, 2017 – Dramatic skies and gusty winds. Sailing faster that we would if we were using the engine. A gaggle of harbor seals swim together in New Channel while a Peregrine falcon watches from above on his nest. A river otter dashes into the water and bald eagles collecting grass for his/her nest. Mouflon rams and Fallow deer racing about on Spieden Island. Hot chocolate to warm us from the inside out.
