General news: Cherokee Rose will take over net when VALIS reaches port. Net will move to SSB channel 6B (6.227 MHz) on Aug 20 HST. No debris mentioned.
VALIS news: A slow day of sailing and motoring. We have battery charging problems, but have figured out how to make do with no difficulty. Today we had some whales swimming alongside and crossing our bow. We couldn’t identify them positively, but they looked similar to Sei Whales. Later we saw more distant whales and dolphins. We crossed the “500 mile to the Strait of Juan de Fuca” line this evening! Yay!
