Post# of 2057
At 10 pm PDT, Friday [6-27-24] it had left Port Angeles and after threading its way around the westernmost of the San Juan Islands it made a turn to the northwest and was moving at 6.6 kts on heading 305 as it began the track along the Inside Passage.
Just found this report of an escort and assist by the US Coast Guard early in the trip as the
Crew from CG Station Noyo River encountered the Shelle.
