Transient orcas and great sailing, Patos to Matia Islands

April 27, 2018 – Great winds for our first sail of the season. Wing on wing passing Yellow Island in bloom. Presidents Channel and onto Patos Island to meet transient orca families T123’s and T36A’s. Beating into white caps together we skirted the islands of Sucia and Matia. Homeward bound in the changing light over the Canadian Gulf Islands. Great sailing conditions but we tucked close to shore for BBQ’d supper.
