Wes Heinmiller, Molly Templin and Allen Stameisen aboard the Northern Light, next to the Rubber Ducky (hot tub) races.
Was it only yesterday? Today we donned galoshes and umbrellas again, but Opening Day for Boating Season was blissfully balmy.
Northern Light owners Wes Heinmiller and Allen Stameisen treated a lively crowd to grass hula skirts, rubber ducky races and Hawaiian music as they celebrated the day with a cruise in the Salish Sea as part of the annual Boat Parade at 1 p.m.
Then the Boating Set retired to the Orcas Yacht Club where the Orcas Village Store provided Pulled Pork sandwiches and all the fixings.
