Smooth Sailing

Here is the post from Al. What he doesn't mention is that Wes sounds much better. So everybody is breathing a big sigh of relief. Hopefully it was just a stomach bug. The evening report:

Very peaceful day sailing along the Northern California coast, no ship traffic, some birds and more white sided dolphins. Then late in the day we were visited by some Dahl's porpoise for about 20 minutes. Saw one shark cruising along the surfaceWinds continue in the 10-20 range from astern, with no rain, mostly sunshine but a little marine layer early and and late. Forecast is for more of the same. Currently we are about 8 miles off of Cape Mendocino with about 165 miles to go to the gate. Spent some time listening to the fleet check in from the Singlehanded Transpac currently going on now. It sure brought back some fond memories. Have a good night, Al
