[status] This will be our last report from the open ocean - we should be at Cape Flattery and entering the Strait of Juan de Fuca around noon tomorrow - PDT! (This horse smells the hay in the barn!). And with breakfast tomorrow we will also be serving "local time" - we have been on HST since leaving Oahu; we stayed on HST all this way because - as we got closer to the continent - Linda, who has the midnight watch, enjoys having sunrise at 3 or 4 in the morning, so the last couple hours of her watch are in daylight! We are now 95 nm from Cape Flattery; from there it is another 85 nm to Port Townsend, where we will be pulling a slip at Port Hudson Marina in the early am Thursday - 28 days out of Hawaii; a bit longer than we had planned or hoped, but all in all a good passage, with only a couple days of nasty stuff! Without a doubt, "All is well on board!" Thanks for following us on YIT!
