The storm had settled, but there was still no sign of the whales, so we decided to sail over to Port Angeles. After scrambled eggs for breakfast and offloading our recycling, garbage and compost, we untied the Gato Verde from the dock at Friday Harbor Labs. Progress was slow through Cattle Pass, but we passed the time debating ethics of intelligent mammals in captivity. There were a number of Steller sea lions feeding on salmon at the surface as we reached the mouth of Cattle Pass. We hoisted the main and unfurled the screecher to take advantage of the 15-20 knot winds. Liz and Elise prepared egg salad for lunch and reached Port Angeles around 4 pm. Shannon, Elise, Liz, Kenna, and Heather headed into Itsy Bitsy Buzz café for internet and caffeine fixes. After Buzz, we enjoyed the evening stroll back to the docks. Kenna and Shannon prepared veggie stir-fry for dinner and we settled in for the evening—drinking tea, reading manuscripts, and writing this blog.
