July 27, 2023 – We started our sail heading up towards Pt Caution before sailing across to Shaw Island. We ventured down into Fisherman’s Harbor at Lopez Island and then sailed across the channel cutting inside Turn Island State Park. We looped back up to Shaw Island coastline again to take in the sunset view before sailing back to Friday Harbor.
