Sounds like a sloppy evening on Kotuku

From the Boat:


Its been a day of good and bad.  Good the engine was turned off around noon because we are sailing.  The bad we are beating south into 15 knot southeasterly.  Good, lots of marine mammals, humpbacks galore, scores of white-sided dolphins and lots of bird.  Bad it is damn cold for the 2nd of July.  Good, the dodger rules.  Bad a majority of the crew is seasick.  Good the forecast for tomorrow is calling for a shift to SW then west then NW.  Bad the anchor locker is full of water, seems the rode wants to plug the drain persistently.  Had some chili as a late lunch which has helped morale.   Location about 40 miles sw of LaPush.  Al


Hope the wind shifts round like it's supposed to!
