July 5, 2022 – A sailing adventure south through Cattle Pass to Salmon Bank. Some cool sights included harbor seals, Steller sea lions, a bald eagle on the cormorant nests, black oystercatchers, Cattle Pt Lighthouse, Mt Baker, the Olympic Mountains, and a beautiful sunset with rays of light shining through the clouds. And another sighting of our favorite “black matte naked harbor seal” by Reef Rocks/Pear Point.
