We left Neah Bay under bright sun on Friday and motored past Tatoosh Island. The sails went up at around 2 PM and have been up ever since. We are now experiencing the lowest wind speeds since Friday but we are still making nearly five knots. We have had up to 30 kt winds and with a triple reefed main and no jib still made 7 knots through the water.

Sunny skies, wind and a downwind sail – what could be better?

We are roughly following the 126 longitude but adjusting to keep roughly 80 miles offshore, in order to dodge fish boats and fog. So far it is working though last night there were a lot of boats and 30 knot winds. It was entertaining and made the evening watches anything but tedious.

All going well we will arrive in San Francisco on Wednesday or Thursday.
