[C36IA] Crazy weather

Mon Jun 22 23:26:33 EDT 2009

While June in Seattle is typically like driving your car through a car wash,
this June went almost 30 days without rain. The C36s were out in force
taking advantage of the uncommonly warm weather. Here are Endless Summer and
Spirit Wind anchored off a large reef at Penrose State Park in southern
Puget Sound (about 40 miles south of Seattle).
