After a night hunkered down on the anchor, swinging in Gale Force winds, we had a break in the weather at 4 AM, so were up and underway by 5 AM. Lopez Pass was stunning as the sun came up in the morning.
Heading across the Straits of Juan de Fuca when there are Gale Warnings is always a little dicey, but we had good luck and saw nothing bigger than 4 footers, so had a relatively easy crossing.
On the way down Admiralty Inlet, we spotted Serendipity (N86) steaming north. She’s quite an impressive ship!
