Left Saturday, 9/11 @ 6:30 am, Arrive Sunday, 9/12 @ noon
Winds: 0 - 33 knots
Seas: 8 foot swell with 4 foot seas
Skies: Clear, no moon, fog on arrival
Distance: 192 miles
We just got in and tied up to what we think is the transient dock. Rich made some BLTs and now we are going to rest.
The gribs predicted 0 - 20 knots but we had 0 - 33. Luckily the seas were with the wind so it was not a bash as it was between Westport and Newport. We looked for a green flash at sunset but no joy. The moon was just a sliver and provided no light.
Occasionally we had porpoises join us. They would race along the boat and dive under the bow. Sometimes there would be several of them. Then they would suddenly disappear without so much as a "So long and thanks for all the fish".
We are going to check the gribs and see when we will continue. The weather report on the VHF was indicating gusts to 35 knots tonight and tomorrow. Hmm....
No worries,
SV Windarra
