Debris Reports: VALIS spotted more pilings. Kotuku spotted lumber, other debris probably from tsunami.
Still sailing here on VALIS. We will be turning towards Cape Flattery at sunrise. The wind has been holding — not strong but comfortable sailing at 5 to 7 kts all day. Caught a nice albacore today, dinner was baked tuna / rice / salad. Tuna tacos tomorrow. The crew spotted a shark’s fin this afternoon, it looked big.
Regards, Paul / VALIS
