More than 30 canoes pulled into Port Gamble Bay this afternoon for an overnight stay. The lines of canoes on the beach at Point Julia were an impressive sight.

Impromptu campgrounds popped up at the point and above at the tribal center.
The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe hosted dinner for a crowd of hungry pullers. Protocol ceremonies will last late into the night.
I’ll be joining the Canoe Family at 6 a.m. tomorrow for an early morning departure.
