Net is now using SSB 4A until further notice.
We picked up our wind early this morning, and are now running wing and wing (poled out genoa). Seas are up but quite manageable. It looks like we will be hitting light air again in a few days, hoping that forecast improves. It could be a very slow last 500 miles as we approach the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Regards, Paul / VALIS
