Pilot Boat - Strait of Juan de Fuca

Cruise ships within Puget Sound must have professional pilots who are shuttled to and from the ships in these boats. This exchange, as we passed Port Angeles, occurred around 8 pm, with the late day sun illuminating the Pilot Boat. As soon as the pilot departed the ship, the captain made a sharp turn north to head into the center of the Strait staddling the border between the U.S. and Canada.
