A Day on Passage Canal

Judy, Julia, Julia's boyfriend Jesse and I took the Klamath skiff down to Whittier on Friday, to give Jesse a tour of Passage Canal and to test the new 4-stroke outboard.  In spite of a marginal weather forecast, it turned out to be  spectacular day - t-shirt weather much of the time.  Here are some pictures.
