Nearly 16 Hours of Daylight? Don't Waste It.

Clear skies, gentle winds, and a golden hour that stretches past 8:20 PM—today's basically asking you to get outside and stay there. Hit the trails before that low tide at 10:32am (perfect for exploring the rocky bits), then plan to catch that ridiculous sunset tonight. If you've been meaning to try something new, the Orcas Center's got acting classes running all summer—because apparently some of us need to practice being as dramatic as our island sunsets deserve.
