Pictures from an 8-day (3oo nautical miles round trip) sail to the San Juan and Gulf Islands. An overnight stop at Port Townsend was followed by mostly motoring across a flat Strait of Juan de Fuca. We did a big counter clockwise loop with stops in Sucia Island, South Pender Island, Piers Island, and San Juan Island. We made the return trip from Roche Harbor to Lake Union in 14 hours by waking up at 5am to ride an ebb tide down Haro Strait and into Jaun de Fuca Strait, then hitting Port Townsend and Admiralty Inlet at max flood. We reached Kingston at 4pm so decided to keep going since we had 3 sails up on a broad reach, sailing wing on wing with the Genoa and Mizzen sails to starboard, and Mains’l to port.
