Spring is here and we’re sailing North. Anchoring Peniel in the lee of Yellow Island we head to shore to walk the trails of wild flowers and visit the beaches. Through the day the crisp air slowly warms to sunset colors as we drift through the islands surrounded by blue herons, ducks, scoters and eagles.

Avery at the Helm!
