Sunday Sept 27: If you are visiting this blog for the first time because of today’s Face Book post, and you have an interest in the Croatian Gig Harbor connection, you might like to follow my two week sailing trip through the islands in Croatia, finding Gig Harbor roots. Go to June 2012 on this web site: https://cometosea.us/?m=201206

Last weekend was the annual Jack&Jill informal sailboat race of the Gig Harbor YC. My Jill stood me up, so I sailed a Jack& Nil race. We had great wind conditions. It took around 2 hours to sail on Saturday, mostly down wind to Des Moines. And against the wind back on Sunday from three to four hours.

Just about 200 yards from the entrance to the Gig Harbor Bay a Humpback Whale surfaced and then showed his large fluked tail. I did not have my camera in the cockpit because of the rough conditions and I could not leave the helm. It spouted a few times. Then I heard that this whale has been seen in the area off and on for the last 2 weeks. But a search for it on Monday did not turn up any sighting for me.

I harvested my first, for the season, Porcini mushrooms (Boletus), at least I think they are. If this is the last blog you read, it might have something else. They grow on the church property, that might be my saving grace.
