September 1, 2021 – Our sail to the north began with reefed sails, but with decreasing winds we eventually shook out the reef. We sailed along the north shore of Orcas Island, to Pt Disney and Sandy Point, Waldron Island, and Flattop Island. The evening light brought all the island colors to life and the sunset was so pretty.
