Thomas and Robert learned to row and went out by themselves in Todd Inlet. We made good time from Port Townsend to Sidney - just under 2 hours. It started partly cloudy and cool with a bit of a swell. The wristband and meclazine kept Sue from feeding the fishes. It smoothed out and got sunnier 3/4 of the way across the Strait. We saw a Minkie whale - Scott saw it first. Seal and a porpoise followed. Sue made lunch, Thomas' sandwich and cutting board blew overboard, had to go collect the cutting board in dinghy. Scott made hot dinner.
