Dry as Our Forecast

Clear skies, 51 degrees, and zero precipitation—basically the island's way of saying "you're welcome" after months of trying to remember what dry means. The ferry situation looks about as stable as our usual April mood swings (there are alerts, plural, because why not), so maybe leave extra time or just start happy hour early. Golden hour hits at 7:23pm if you need an excuse to actually go outside, and TEDxOrcasIslandLive starts at 7pm—you could make it to inspiration AND a drink by nightfall.
