August 30, 2021 – Moderately strong winds on our sail today so we reefed the sails as we got underway. With warm hats and blankets our guests were comfortable in the bean bag chairs as we began our adventure. We sailed by Flattop, White Rock and Pt Disney before crossing the channel back to Orcas Island. By hugging the coastline we ducked out of the wind for a bit white using the iron jenny staying close to shore to enjoy the gorgeous scenery. After exiting Spring Pass we cut behind the Wasp Islands before sailing across San Juan Channel back to Friday Harbor.
