Salish Sea Cruising 2014

[David Patterson]

On a still morning. Here the boundary between what is above water and what is reflected on the surface is nearly impossible to distinguish. In fact, just for fun I am showing this photo reversed. The upper part is actually the reflection. I find the detail remarkable. To those of you who regularly look at my posts, I will be away from cruising for a month, to visit family and conduct "shore business" that won't wait. I'll try to post again in late August. A Joshua Slocum quote to leave with: "With such as love sailing, mother-wit is the best teacher, after experience." (From Sailing Alone...)

Thanks to those who have graciously followed my Salish Sea Cruising. I'm back aboard after a month dealing with "shore business," eager for more cruising. If you wish to enjoy the occasional photo, and short tack through my erratic commentary, you will find it under a new topic in Cruisers Corner. I've titled it Salish Sea Again. May you get some fine fall cruising in, before the earth tilts too far again! The photo represents late August temperature ranges in the central San Juan Islands.
