Back in the USA

We left Victoria mid-morning, motoring out into a beautiful sunny day on the strait with wind from the west at about 15 knots and a calm sea state.  Once clear of the harbor, we hoisted the sails and set our course for Port Angeles.  It was one of our most enjoyable sails as we reached across the strait.  Janet made up some cinnamon rolls for a late morning snack and all was good.  About mid-way across, we called US customs and were able to clear in over the phone using our NEXUS cards.

We will be here in PA for about 5 days.  There are a number of things on the to do list, including re-provisioning, laundry, cleaning the boat, installing our newly purchased AIS and a few other misc. repairs and tweaks.  There should be plenty of time to get it all done, I hope.

JP, our crew for the run to San Francisco, arrives on the 25th.  We hope to head for Neah Bay early AM on August 26 and then out and around Cape Flatery on the morning of August 27 and then non-stop to San Francisco.

On the docks in Port Angeles a few days before our
departure south bound.
