Cranking off the miles

Pretty good sailing day, no real lulls, wind is lifting and sheets are easing.  Still under white sails clicking off the miles.  Partly cloudy afternoon with a short rain shower. Had a short Dall's porpoise visit, about 6 individuals.  Caught another albacore, a little bigger one around 10 lbs.  Matt and Judy prepped and made cheesy tuna s**t tonight.  Ummmmm good.  Tonight's winds should ease and maybe go fluky but tomorrow should be okay if the gribs can be believed.  Carrying on the charge home, Al

1900 PDT position 47 22N 133 43W, course 055M speed 7.5 winds 13 knots NNW, DTF 366

Note from Graeme:  These turkeys still aren't saying when they will arrive.  366 miles to go as of last night.  I have them in Neah Bay Wednesday morning, and Seattle on Thursday.  But that is just my math.  Right now they are hauling the mail, and could beat that.  Or the wind could die, and they won't.  But they are off the coast of WA right now, getting closer every minute.  So it won't be too long.  Hang in there!
