There are good ships and wood ships
And ships that sail the seas
But the best ships are the friendships
And may they ever be...

Day 20 - Almost There

John and crew are almost to the Straits of Juan de Fuca, which is the long body of water that takes them into Puget Sound.  They will get fuel in Neah Bay, which is right around the corner from entering the straits.  Then after a good nights sleep at a dock, they will start to work their way to Bellingham - which is still 2 days away.  But at least they will be in protected waters and will be able to stop for the night.  Yeah - I can't wait to see them again.  And Music of course, she has safely brought John home from Tahiti - almost 6,000 miles.

Just wanted to let you know that we are exiting the compression zone of wind. Had lots of it from mid afternoon yesterday. Good swell too. Really foggy this AM. Will switch clock to PDT, sometime today. Maybe noon, or when we enter the Straits.
