Cloudy. Moderate Ne/E winds all day.

Off station from 1030 to 1130 to visit friends who were sailing past on their way to Sooke.
On my way back I went past Middle Rock with the HUGE male elephant seal (I’ve never seen a full sized one). Pretty impressive just how big those creatures are. I wish he’d come ashore to Greater Race Rock so I could get a better look at him. There was an adult bald eagle on the Turbine Rock on my way in, and two Harlequins on the jetty steps.
