Rounding Cape Flattery

We rounded Cape Flattery at about noon today. Conditions are relatively calm with winds from the SE at 3-5 knots and a SW swell at about 1.3 meters. Our current heading (COG) is 212T and boat speed is 4.0 knots. We are currently motoring, but hope to head off shore under sail with a stronger SE wind as the afternoon progresses.

We are on our way south to San Francisco and ultimately Mexico.

We will update the blog and our spot once a day at or around 10 AM.

Below is an excerpt from the weather forecast:

Summary:
1) For this Tue, there is a fairly weak cold front offshore near 129W
2) Ahead of this front, there will be a S to S-SW breeze into this PM,
mainly off the WA coast
a) Not much wind near Neah Bay to Tatoosh Island, but
b) Look for the S to S-SW breeze, into the lower teens, possible as high
as 15-16 kts at times
3) Radar shows some showers offshore to S and SW, and there is likely to be
low clouds with some showers around into tonight
4) look for the breeze to diminish some and trend more left into S to S-SE
or SE during tonight
a) Wind lighter and more left into SE closer to shore, but
b) Wind will be slightly stronger and more right into S-SE and S offshore
during the night
5) On Wed, the cold front weakens/dissipates, while high pressure builds
further offshore to the W and SW
