Our merry band of eight paddlers made the 21 mile paddle down Rosario Strait around the south end of Lopez Island through the turbulent Cattle Pass and up to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island in bright sunshine and favorable southerly winds. We hit the water at 8:30am and landed at our destination at 2:45pm. Took a hour long lunch break at Iceberg Point while the 4 knot flood built. We had a couple of folks practice their low braces ' for real ' but no swimmers today ! Also had one first timer for this long trip and she was very excited to have successfully added this trip to her paddling resume.
