9/26/16 – Incredible skies with interesting clouds as we set sail towards Flattop Island, a National Wildlife Refuge. There were so many harbor seals warming up in the sun. The seas were as calm as a lake in New Channel surrounding the Cactus Islands. Dall’s porpoise came to pay us a visit while rooster tailing around us as the sun began to creep down in the sky.
