Synopsis: We've used as much fuel as we dare getting north and for several hours after shutting the engine down the breeze was barely a whisper. It filled in on my midnight to 3AM watch, however, and grew to a steady 10-12Kt allowing us to make excellent boat speed. Consequently, we are finally making good progress under sail, and the best part of it is that we are heading a direction we want to go. That said, we have some unpleasantness coming down on us in the form of a low that should arrive in about 36-48 hours more or less. Even after we make our next waypoint (above) we still have 1016NM to go to reach Cape Flattery.

Cheers, John
