[status] 20190710 0800 UTC, Day 3. Douglas & Morgan, all is well. Outbound Wakayama, Japan. Inbound Port Townsend, WA USA. Winds have been consistently from the east for 2 days, 15-20 kts. Because our general route is ~50 degrees T, we have been sailing to weather for those 2 days also, and at times it has been rough. 2-3m seas, several wave trains, strong currents dominated by the Kuroshio, and complex coastal seabed topography result in confused seas for us. We are happy to have the winds to sail though. 330 nm VMG total for 3 days sailing, including 24 hours of motorsailing. 4370 miles to go.
