July 13, 07 Deaparted Shilshole, Seattle and motored north to Port Townsand, Anchored out for the night and 8:30 AM we started towards the entrance to the Straights for the crossing to Cattle Pass, San Juan Isl. We anchored up at 1630 in Deer Harbor, Orcas Ils. Sunday 15,07 the gathering of the Schooners that were going to race showed up. We had a potluck on the dock and the skippers meetng.
Monday 7-16-07 1100 the race started, most were planing a south passage 'under' Crane Isl., but the tied and lack of wind pushed just about all through the Pole Pass Route (Not the best choice). In total we had 3 races, one was undetermind finish and 1 with a start and finish and one that was called at or near Iceberg Point (south tip of Lopez Isl.)
Black Opal took a third place in division C. Saw lots of Orcas and met new and old friends, had a great time.
