Position: 37’20 N 131’13 W
500 miles West of San Francisco Days run: 236miles (noon – noon)
Boat speed: 11.5kts Course 310T
Weather: Overcast Wind: 16-18kts out of 005’T
News:
Timoneer motor sailed through the evening and into Father’s Day without
incident. The breeze finally dropped below 20kts this morning and we have
started to arc our course more Northerly towards the Gulf of Alaska some
1500 miles away. Rhumb line course to Cook Inlet would be 327’T although
currently because of the Northerly breeze we are still 15 degree’s below
that course. The boat is still moving around quite a bit although the
period of time between each swell has lengthened making the motion much
better than the last two days.
