After waking up at Roche, and having breakfast shortbread freshly baked by Alex, Tim and Anne took a shot at raising the anchor by hand. With about 15 feet left to go, time had run short and they let the motor take over. We motored out
Mosquito
Pass and met Peregrine so Tim could take more high-frequency recordings of vessel noise. Our daily calls to friends and contacts produced no information on whale whereabouts—it seemed that the whales that had been up north yesterday where most likely transients, and the residents had left the area surrounding the
San Juan islands and headed out to sea. So the group decided to try something different and sail to
Port Angeles on the peninsula, in hopes of making it over to Race Rocks early tomorrow. We arrived in to PA and walked into town to grab coffee and take advantage of the free wireless. Tragically, the internet crashed shortly after our arrival until our brave leader-of-the-day, Alex climbed a ladder to reset the black box and reconnect us to the world. Hooray! After our caffeine and internet fixes, we walked back to the Gato Verde for spaghetti and meatless meatballs with garlic bread. We ended the day screening Ingrid Visser’s documentary, Killers I Have Known.
