Sept 12th – Plenty of wind when we departed Friday Harbor which called for a double reefed main and small jib. Smooth sailing. We cut through John’s Pass to circumnavigate the beautiful Stuart Island. Downwind sailing with full main and genoa back to our home port. Clear skies as far as the eyes could see. Hello Mt Baker.
