July 6, 2018 – Winds from the south pushed us along as we headed north. We had some of the best clouds and dramatic skies during our sail. Incredible evening light and vibrant colors accentuated our favorite places. We sailed from Flattop Island to White Rock to get a glimpse of the seals warming up in the sun. We served up dinner with the spectacular view of Pt Disney ahead as we sailed up to the cliff face for a closer look. As we crossed Presidents Channel to hug the Orcas shoreline we had the best view with the forest on one side and the sunset on the other. Rain clouds rolled in behind us as we headed for home.
