September 11, 2022 – A relaxing adventure starting out along the coastline of Shaw Island and cutting through Shirt Tail Reef. Sailing wing on wing along Jones Island and weaved our way through the Cactus Islands and down the coast of Spieden Island in New Channel. Flattop Island was illuminated in the warm evening sunshine and the sunset had a mix of many shades of pink.
