The Board of the Orcas Island Historical Society would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Denise and Capt. Dan Wilk of Orcas Island Eclipse Charters for hosting another wonderful “Cruise Into History” tour last month.  Big thanks as well to local historian Tom Welch for providing a fascinating narration on the early days of Orcas Island as the beautiful 56-foot Orcas Express circumnavigated our fair isle.

Together these three put together a great experience for the nearly forty guests who were aboard that day, and we at the museum are extremely grateful to receive the proceeds for this event.  Kudos to Tom and the Wilks for their continued generous support by providing a fun and adventurous way to experience learning about island history.

For those who regret missing this tour, be sure to call the museum office at 376-4849 to be included on the list for next year.
