29 September. Waiting out high winds in Port Angeles on Monday providing  more time to fix a bunch of things and deploy reefing systems, storm jib sheeting and staysail sheeting, in addition to yet another dozen small details.  Tomorrow, 30 September, weather permitting, we will strike out for Neah Bay, about 55 nm, refuel boat and crew and then head out into the Pacific on Thursday. Current weather forecasts are all favourable.  Yahoo!

Setting out across Georgia St on Sunday, 27 September, in up to 20 kt winds provided boat speeds of up to 8.2 kts. Terrific.  Anchored in Cadboro Bay at about 9 PM and set out in winds gusting to 29 kts as we crossed Juan de Fuca on Monday to Port Angeles.  We are enjoying shore power and the electric heater and the showers.  Reciprocal moorage courtesy of the Port Angeles Yacht Club is much appreciated.
