9/28/16 – Beautiful September sailing in the sunshine. Our favorite part about today was drifting in New Channel enjoying supper when we were surrounded by groups of harbor porpoise. They are usually very shy, but today they hung out with us probably enjoying supper, too. We could hear their tiny exhales all around us. It was very special. Another sound was heard that was a bit new to us… a bugling Sika deer!
