[status] We were escorted by a pod of about 20 dolphins for an hour or so. They were playing about and chattering, showing off their speed and agility and being super curious and friendly. We were spellbound. Good progress, only about 500 miles to go to the straits of Juan de Fuca. Our High pressure friend is also staying with us and keeping us safe from the weather bombs.

[weather]E 15 knots, seas 3m, cloud cover 20%, barometer 1017 steady
[status]Near perfect sailing conditions with lots of sun and a 15 knot breeze. We're 150nm from Suwarrow so should be in by lunch time tomorrow. Last night was the first night without multiple sail changes. The only other unusual thing is that the fishing line is out now that the seas have dropped a little from their previous 3-4m. We're all good and looking forward to some flat water.
