August 9, 2019 – It was a great sailing day with a little bit of everything. Downwind up San Juan Channel, Beam Reach to New Channel, drifting along the kelp forest edges, and some close hauled excitement sailing into wind tacking our way home.
And just when things couldn’t get any better we had carrot cake.
