August 11, 2019 – It was a phenomenal sail – and we even got to sail with with Biggs/Transient orca T65A2 as he crossed his way across the border in Canada. A fast sail back to Stuart Island as the winds picked up with some nearby threatening clouds. We escaped the rain and made it into our favorite place for dinner. A spectacular sky scape emerged as we sailed home.
