All Aboard Sailing

Circumnavigating Shaw Island

September 5, 2021 – Half day sail with a family pick up at Odlin Park on Lopez Island. We kept it simple today since we had three little ones on board. A nice, relaxing sail in light winds seemed to be a better fit than pointing into the cold wind to sail south as originally planned. We circumnavigated the beautiful Shaw Island, cut through the Wasp Islands, and had a taste of sailing close to Spring Pass and down San Juan Channel.
