October 7, 2021 – North, south, east or west? We picked a fun adventure to the south. Gorgeous lighting and cloud reflections around Turn Island with lots of raccoons (9?), harbor seals by Deadman Island, sea lions checking us out by Whale Rocks, a minke whale on MacArthur Bank, Castle Rock and the South Lopez coastline where we found a family of 4 river otters.
Sailing around Turn Island – one of our favorite spots
