Winds light again today. About 150 miles to go. Starting to get prepared for docking and eventually leaving our home for the last nearly 4 months! A grey overcast and misty day today. Tonight we were

Very light winds again today. Motored for about 6 hours. Only 200 miles to go. Some weather coming in a couple of days, and we hope to get into the straits of Juan de Fuca beforehand. Full main and

One of the problems with hitching a ride on a High Pressure system can be the lack of wind. We are currently idling along at about 2 knots in 5 knots of wind. Hoping for the breeze to fill in as it

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

We are enjoying listening to CBC radio stations while heading North East with the Southerly winds courtesy of the high pressure system we are hitching a ride with. All good on board, looking forward

Great sailing, easy low swell, a few showers. Furler rope broke - replaced it, sooner now than in a Force 22 storm and 20 meter swells lol. Seeing lots of rubbish in the sea around here. You could

Trundling along north at good speed, some big swells rolling in making our ride roly poly but we get rocked to sleep. No surprises in the weather department, we have dodged the bullets and are secure

Our two hitch hikers that we thought were Cormorants turned out to be Red Footed Boobys. We renamed them Brian and Beryl. Brian took off yesterday and hasn't returned and the same with Beryl. I miss

Awesome day/ Finally got the perfect wind to launch us into North American orbit. We picked up a couple of hitch hikers that are camped out in the cockpit. Cornelius and Conny Cormorant. So cute

Well I sat outside in the cockpit tonight with a cup of coffee and watched a fiery sunset followed by the emergence of the northern hemisphere night sky with a resplendent milky way to die for. All

Biggest event of the day was finding a packet of chocolate chip cookies, which we then demolished in short order, all the while reminiscing about Mellowpuffs......But hey, we are mindful of our good

Hmmmmm.......found that the boom was close to falling off due to the screws holding the boom bracket to the mast were flogging out. Jeff is retapping some bigger bolts in and we will lash the boom to

Absolutely no wind most of the day. Motored for about 3 hours in a long easy swell and often mirror-like sea. Listened to some fave music with good headphones while motoring - nice! Finally picked up

Another perfect day in paradise. :-) Lots of seabirds today, mainly storm petrels following small schooling fish and feasting up big time. Saw a large cargo ship heading NW towards Hawaii. We picked

All good on board. Collected fresh water off the mainsail into buckets to use for showers and washing. Made a loaf of bread with the breadmaker, worked a treat! Had a clothes washing day, stretches

Hot as on board. Looking forward to some cooler weather in the northern hemisphere - but not too cold! Line crossing is imminent. A good excuse to dress up, act stupid and drink lashings of rum as we
