8:45AM Wednesday morning, lat 39deg 06min N, lon 124deg 26min W. Course 350deg magnetic, speed 4.5 kts. Yes, we left on Monday morning, and have been battling 15-30 kt winds and 9-15 ft seas as we slowly tack our way north. We are now just a little north of Pt. Arena, and at this rate it will be a *long* trip. We have just started motorsailing, trying to get around Cape Mendocino sometime this week.
All crew are well, and nothing important has broken.
