News:
Timoneer motor sailed throughout the evening averaging over 12kts for the 24 hour period. The northerly breeze gave out at 0300 and by 0500 the Southerlies began filling in. We altered our course to port by 15 degrees and headed towards the Washington coast in hope that the headwinds would be lighter over there. The sea state remains fairly settled and the boys had no problem doing a few odd jobs on deck while Penny made what can only be described as left over casserole for lunch. All on board are well.
