Pete and I went for an afternoon paddle around the islands. We had great conditions, sunshine, no wind to speak of and little current! We ran into a couple of groups of paddlers out in the islands: Delcie and Edgar were there as was Paulo with his Friday group. The birding was good with pelagic, Brandt's and double-crested cormorants, long-tailed and harlequin ducks, buffleheads, black oystercatcher and black turnstone, bald eagle, glaucous winged gull, surf scoters and more. We also saw Steller's and California sea lions as well as harbour seals. We took a detour into the inlet in Chatham to look at the cactus patches on the islet as the tide was pretty high.
