[status] Day 40... The winds picked mid-morning and brought the seas up with them. We have been rolling from gunnel to gunnel ever since. Every task and any movement on board demanding lots of energy and at times becoming quite precarious. Thankfully tomorrow morning, at sunrise, we should be in the lee of one of the Tokelau islands. This should mean flat seas! What a welcome respite if only for a few hours.

returning to our home port of Anacortes.

[status] Day 36...The last few days have been glorious, weather wise. Sun shining, clear skies at night. And now the swell is finally abating. 5 weeks down, 3 weeks to go? We believe we have another 18/19 days left. About 2800 nm to Bundaberg Australia. That first drink at the pub/bar will be soooo good! That is, if said bar/pub is open!!

[status] We?re anchored at Marble Cove in Barkley Sound, 280 miles from our
previous anchorage. 36 hours of predicted wind turned out to be just 12 so
we ended up using more fuel than we planned, but we?re still glad we chose
this route. We wanted to be on the wild side, and Barkley Sound has many
special memories for our family. We?ll rest here tomorrow then probably
head to Washington without another stop.
