General news: Nothing reported. Cherokee Rose will run net tomorrow, SSB channel 4B. VALIS will be checking in, and relay if necessary.
VALIS news: Just great sailing and great weather. Some light air and motoring earlier in the day, but the wind has filled in and the forecasts look encouraging. We should be in the Strait of Juan de Fuca by sunset Aug 23 (PDT), and in Friday Harbor around sunrise Aug 24. Remember though, the “E” in “ETA” stands for “Estimated”!
