We are in the 40's now and it was a cheerful welcome. We had a wind change of 180°, choppy cross sea and a cold, drizzly night with zero visibility and a stiff breeze from NE.
Everything cleared in the morning, the sun came out, the wind slowly died and we had another lovely day. So we are now in the middle of our 3'rd high pressure system since we left Kauai and I believe we might have found the "boring fourties", as the only thing roaring is our engine. I just started it and we are motor sailing until the wind dies completely.
Tomorrow we are expecting the tail end of a small front with southerly gusts and afterwards a stiff westerly breeze, which will bring us toward our destination and back to our beloved rhump line.
We have all seen seals today! So it is official: They do swim more than 700 miles offshore.
All good aboard, well fed (with yummy fresh home made bretzels), happy (to be on the way to Alaska) and just a little bit chilly.
