Eagle Attack

Day 3 - June 7th

I think this trip will be challenging most, if not everyday. Today we work up to super saturating mist and an outright depressing morning. So wet! Strong headwinds and a fighting current made us feel like we were battling a giant all day long.

I was struck today by the amazing forests that blanket the SE part of Whidbey Island. As the fog cleared in the late morning it had a magical feel. There are SO many bald eagles in these islands. Hard to believe they were once on the brink. They definitely appear to be thriving. (Mike)
