Alrighty then, that's more like it. The breeze started filling in about 2 hours ago, so things are looking up. We're going 6.5 knots in about 12 knots of wind, headed almost directly at the Farralon Islands, which will be the last land we are near for a very long time. probably won't see them because it's foggy. We havent seen any other boats for a while and land is long gone. So it's just us and a bunch of little black dolphins chugging through the gloom.
Everybody's settling in to their watches ( I go back on in 15 mins) and everything is great. Gotto go for now. Need to get some wool on under the foul weather gear. I'm on deck from 9:00-12: 00 and with this fog, it's going to be chilly.
Whiskey Delta Bravo 2898 VALIS out
Yep, I'm sailing the PacCup again for 2014. We'll be covering over 2,000 miles and two weeks in Paul Elliot's beautiful VALIS, starting in San Francisco Bay and ending up in Kaneohe, Oahu. Our only connection to you will be via a puny satellite connection, so I can't send pics till we hit land, but if it all works right I should be able to update this blog once in a while. I look forward to reading your comments when I get back. Aloha! -Other Paul
