Written by Eldor, Friday afternoon
As I write this I'm sitting in the shade of a 80 ft tall fir tree on a beautiful sun shiny day looking over the blue waters of the San Juan Islands. Did I mention its all of 65 degrees F? Someone has to do it.
Yesterday we sailed from Sidney, on Vancouver Island to Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, a distance of 11 nautical miles in 1 hour and 45 minutes. Our little boats are only supposed be capable of a little over 4 knots but we had a good wind and a very strong tidal current pushing us and once I saw 9 kts on my GPS.
Today we left Roche Harbor for Blakley Island and there was no wind and we had to motor all the way.
Tomorrow will be the last day of this wonderful cruise., the weather has been cool but there was some sunshine almost every day and all of the people sailing with have become very good friends. We will really miss them when we all go our separate ways.
