August 26th 2017 Sailed South passing the Stellers sea Lion haul out of Whale Rocks and found a Minke whale feeding off Salmon Bank, San Juan Island. So much fun circling and rising through crowds of gulls, murres and rhinoceros auklets who were similarly enjoying the bait balls of small fish. We continued sailing along the South Coast of Lopez Island finding a number of Eagles nests in the hidden coves. We circled Lopez passing Blakely Island and finding more eagles off Upright Head
