T-48 hours to Landfall

Still sailing, hoisted the A3 this morning, Kotuku pulling 6's in 6 knots of breeze, sun is up and life is good.  These days 24 hours without the D4 is sweet.  Judy did a great job for a rookie keeping the boat moving through her whole watch last night following the apparent wind in difficult conditions of under 5 knots, beating east.  We'll make a sailor out of her I think.  Rest of us doing fine although Emily and her mention of fresh peach pie has at least me drooling in my sleep.  Looking forward to landfall in the next 48 hours hopefully and then another 24 to Seattle.  Sayonara, Al

0800 PDT position 47 42N 131 56W course 060 speed 6.5 wind 310 @ 6.0 kt  DTF 291

Yo Katy, Matt needs mail!

Go M's  .500 is good goal for us--(I told them the Mariners are only 6 games off .500, and 11/12 at home recently.)

Also, sounds like John is pretty much back to full strength.  Al has him standing watches, regardless.  

Go Kotuku!  It will be great to see you all back home this week!
