August 15, 2021 – Half day evening sunset sail. With reefed sails we headed north to New Channel and to Flattop Island again. The lighting got better and better as we went, and it was difficult putting the camera down. The landscape surrounding us was so beautiful with the layers of islands everywhere. Another special sail in the books.
