Saturday, 21September2013: Friday Harbor to Skyline

Weather:  Sunny and mild.  Winds:  Light and variable, 15kts at East Sound.  Seas:  Calm

Intended to leave on Friday, but was having too good a time and stayed one more day.  Departed around 1100.  Saritas came by to see us off.  Mostly a motor.  Sailed at 5kts in light winds under main and screacher across San Juan Channel.  Motored.  Picked a bit of wind on the south side of Shaw Island and managed to sail a bit more.  Motored.  At the west end of East Sound, winds picked up and we made 8-10kts all the way to Peavine Pass.  Slowed to 5kts against the current in Peavine.  Mid-pass, motored as the winds became obstructed by Obstruction Island.  Mostly motored the rest of the way home, picking up a bit of wind every now and then.
