Summer Sailing Trip 2021: Day 4 - Cian

After our long journey through Anacortes the day before, we traveled to Blaine, home of the Peace Arch, for a peaceful visit to the border of Canada. On our way to the arch, we stopped to take pictures with some orca statues and of the view. We hung around the Peace Arch for a bit until we decided it was time for some ice cream. We ate our ice cream and wandered back to the boat. After relaxing on the boat for a while we dinghied over to a beach on another island so we could finish off the day playing in the water.   -Cian
