We have returned from sea trials 60knm off the admiralty inlet. The third through the fifth were spent entirely under sail. We have worked out watches and a cook times.
On the afternoon of independence day there was a gail warning issued for all of the Juan de Fuca area..... 20-35kts of wind .
It was a downwind run all the way to Port Townsend. Boat speed pushing 7.5 knots , 11.5 over ground with 8 foot wind waves. We pushed the boat hard and she held strong, reassuring all of us of her seawothiness.
The crew went in to port for showers and last chance supplies.

I go to town tomorow for spares. We leave from PT to Kuai on Saturday night the off shore route has yet to be determined, we are watching the hi's around the great circle route if they hold we will be forced to run the coast.
This will be my last post till Hawaii..... my Dad will update as the crossing takes place.
Sailling in to the sun set, wish you were all here.
