Short sail with a visit to Turn Island State Park

October 17, 2026 - Short sail with a visit to Turn Island State Park. Moderately strong winds and reefed sails. We found the sea otter at Turn Rock having a bite to eat.

Biggs/Transient Orcas T49A’s inside Friday Harbor

October 16, 2026 - With news from friends/repeat passengers of orcas approaching Reuben Tarte from the north we called passengers for a hasty departure.

They passed two ferry boats and skirted the edge of the marina through to Shipyard Cove. As dusk fell we returned to Friday Harbor.

Biggs/Transient Orcas T19’s, T49A’s & T50B1 and T50D in Haro Strait

October 8, 2026 - With reports of orcas crossing Haro Strait from Canada over Beaumont Shoals and Northwest bound we mustered our passengers for a slightly earlier departure. Ribbons of fog still came in from the South but the North was clear which helped us make speedy progress up San Juan Channel into Spieden Channel. Staying close to the shoreline now to avoid the incoming flood current we cleared Battleship Island and let loose the Genoa to meet the orcas mid strait....
