| Captain enjoys the view! |
Heading North, Heron encounters uncharacteristically warm,
sunny days for the Northwest. Even
en route to Desolation, the captain and first mate are living in shorts and
T-shirts underway. A first in five
years of Northwest cruising...

| Desolation dead ahead... |
Desolation Sound in front of us, ending in a high
wall of mountains that are part of the Coast Range running all the way to
Alaska. Awesome!

| Motor yacht Montego. |
Tens of thousands of years ago, massive glaciers smoothed these rough peaks – except for the summit of Mount Denman. Again and again it was shattered by frost, until only the present horn was left. You can see it here, looming (to the right), like a granite incisor over the vintage 1960s motor yacht: Montego, above.
Good friends, Robbie and Pauline, joined us at Cortes Island for four days (one with sails up briefly!), exploring Teakerne Arm, Mink Island, and Dent. Living in bathing suits, swimming, and kayaking. Summer the way it should be... fantastic.
