News:
Timoneer motor sailed across the Gulf of Alaska throughout the evening in
10-15kts of Southerly breeze as we closed in on Homer. The morning started
out very calm with just a slight swell running and 3-5 kts of breeze, the
watch was very keen to spot some whales or other wildlife. Unfortunately
we struck out with the exception of a few birds. We also took advantage of
the good weather to knock a few things off the job list and get the boat
cleaned up for arrival in port tomorrow. The calm weather lasted until
shortly before noon when the tide must have turned against the wind
resulting in instant chop. All on board are well and looking forward to
our arrival in Homer.
