Lay Over at Blake Island

6 June 2012 Wednesday

Too Tall hikes the island and Hira awaits the Carylyn's departure.Later we do note that the rub rail on Pashmina's  starboard side is popped off, but easily repaired.

The Tillicum Village is not on full schedule so we lay over a day so we can experience the wonderful salmon bake and  multi visual program about the Salish Indians. The ancient voices of the past reply as we call forth all our ancestors to join the celebration.
