Next Waypoint: Cape Flattery
Range: 44NM
We just sailed through a huge pod of whales. We believe
humpbacks. One even came within a few feet of Music. A few feet!! We are still
spotting blows some distance off in front of us. But, what a greeting,
particularly after the winds and seas of last night.
So close, but the winds have gone light (8Kt and less)
and we must save our fuel. It would not due to run out just as we approach the
Straits.

33.00WI measured about 20 Gal fuel in take so started motoring with 30NM to Cape Flattery & 10 more to Neah Bay, 40 total. Engine rpm = 2000; Speed at present = about 6kt with push from the swell even though there is no wind.
Wish us luck & hope that we have at least 10-15 gal
of fuel.
