August 21, 2020 – Our sail today was cancelled due to a forecast of rain. The rain had cleared by late afternoon and we watched the Biggs/Transient orcas T60’s from shore as they came around Cattle Point Lighthouse and headed up San Juan Channel. We met two of our upcoming passengers there and suggested an impromptu sunset sail. We met the orcas nearing Turn Rock and were able to sail alongside watching the sunset as they passed Friday Harbor.
