September 24, 2021 – An exciting sail heading up into Boundary Passage to see Biggs/Transient orcas T34A1, T36’s (T36 with T36B’s), T65A5, and T65B’s with a beautiful back drop of Mt Baker. After departing the orcas we took a shore excursion to Pt Doughty State Park on Orcas Island. Such gorgeous views and a fun place to visit. On our sail down Presidents Channel the family took part in sailing the sailboat.
