January 22, 2021 – From Friday Harbor North to Point Caution and then picking up a good breeze to sail across San Juan Channel and into Wasp Pass. We took the narrow Pole Pass with current in our favor and the conditions warmed as we passed between Shaw Island and Orcas. We circled Shaw Island coming in close to Upright Head and stopping at Odlin Park on Lopez Island just before sunset.
