Joan filled all the boats today. I got to drive my old "friend" out of Friday Harbor... smaller, but faster. Transient whales in the area today, and moving away from us at 8 to 10 knots. Some rockin' and rollin' in the open water outside of Cattle Pass, but the guests were happy with the viewing of the transient Killer Whales.
Doing my best to give them a good ride, I kept "crabbing" into the waves (pilots will understand that concept) while keeping up with the fast moving Orcas. It's a different challenge each day, but it helps to have decent reports so you can formulate a plan while on the move.
The mindset is different on the different boats I drive, but each has their best features. Never a dull day.
