May 29, 2018 – Extreme low tide made for beautiful coastline sailing between the islands. Harbor Seals basking in sunshine as we threaded our way through the Cactus Islands and headed North. Drifting the currents of Saturna Island we can hear the calls of Peregrine Falcons. At Monarch Head we met two humpbacks, ‘Split Fin’ (BCZ0298) and ‘Zig Zag’ (BCX1193). Absolutely breathtaking as they circled the coastline of Narvez Bay. Home by way of Skipjack and Presidents stunning sunset light.
