Morning Update: Slow go in the Straits, with Fireworks

Here is the latest update from the Crew:


Clallam bay at 0600.  Uneventful but cold night, continued motoring into dying westerly, down to almost calm this morning.  SSB voice check on 4A and 8A last night with John Weller at Shilshole was moderately successful.  He could hear us just fine and he was readable but scratchy on our end.  We are scheduled to repeat the test again tonight when he will be anchored out in Poulsbo.  Saw Canada Day fireworks at Victoria last night, normal ship traffic and a few blackfish off of Point Wilson.  Forecast is for showers and light winds from the south until around midnight then turning westerly.  Al
