Gorgeous San Juan's all day. Crosse to Shaw, paddled west on north side between Shaw and Orcas. Between Crane Island and Orcas 25 knot east (tail) winds developed around 1:00 and rode waves through Harney Channel. Got a little break after narrow passage between Crane and Orcas but built to 3 - 4 feet across Spring Channel, between Orcas and Jones. The wave direction was northwest so I headed for the north side of Jones. By the time I reached Jones I had had enough and called it a day. I felt very strong and powerful today.
Met a group from Port Townsend at camp and had good company. They built a great campfire and all gathered round. They made pineapple upside down cake and gave me a piece. Third night in a row for cake!
If conditions permit, will try for Sydney tomorrow. A special thanks to Veronique for the marshmallow treats she made for me – delicious! Scenery continues to be incredible. Partly cloudy skies with mountains in foreground reaching between ocean and clouds. Rain on and off all day.
Water was turned off at Jones, one week early.
