September 10, 2018 – A great day for sail winding our way through a maze of islands. We spotted bald eagles, harbor seals, harbor porpoise, and steller sea lions amidst the amazing scenery.
Sailing through the Wasp Islands up to Flattop Island, over to New Channel and around Spieden Island, back to Flattop Island, onto White Rock and Point Disney. Crossing Presidents Channel to hug the coast of Orcas Island we were treated to a stunning sunset on our way back to Friday Harbor avoiding the distant rain showers and finding a rainbow along the way.
