Why the University of California wants to know how many Sea Stars we have around our little island I’ll never know but last week we got about 10% of our local population climbing over a rocky shoreline to count and classify them. They are making a comeback after several years of wasting disease. Bev and I did the Java Islets just off the southern shore of Saturna Island during a thunder storm that coincided with the low tide. It was then off to Port Browning for the night, dinner out and meet up with friends.
The next day we had a great sail out of Plumper Sound and into Boundary Pass on our way to Narvaez Bay for a couple of days
Always a great view of Mt Baker.
Friends along to share the joy.
Next we motored around East Point, a brief encounter with a mother Humpback and her calf, then up to Bennett Bay on Mayne Island.
Sun Gypsy alone in the bay.
My Baker is almost always in view.
To end our trip we spent a quiet couple of days in Winter Cove before heading home to Lyall Harbour.
