July 14 Washington Park to Friday Harbor

A group of WKC paddlers took off from Washington Park (Anacortes, WA) on a bright summer day. The current down Rosario Strait quickly took us to the southeast side of Lopez Is, WA. Three hours after we launched we were at Iceburg Point having lunch with another group of paddlers. After a nice sunny lunch on a log, the 7 singles and two double kayaks headed to Cattle Pass and it's 5.4 kt currents and whirlpools. We arrived in Friday Harbor at 3:15pm just enough time to grab a quick beer and jump on the ferry. Great day and a good first time experience for 5 of the paddlers. A first time event for me: as we passed Turn Island just outside of Friday Harbor my boat was mistaken for a mother by this just born seal pup.. " did have it's fathers eyes"...
