July 4, 2024 – Our spectacular July 4th sail was epic once again. This year we got to sail with Biggs/Transient orcas T65B’s as they traveled north in the sunset to Flattop Island. Beautiful golden evening light set the scene. We returned to Friday Harbor and enjoyed the fireworks display over the harbor.
