Oh Canada..Just a glimpse of your shores as we approach....How familiar are your cool waters and misty shorelines. I have missed you.
We motor along, third reef in and boom centered to steady Blue in the roll of the sea, we have come in on the high side of the traffic separation to avoid the large vessels in transit. It was ebbing as we entered the Strait, but we were able to stay clear of the main body of current by riding the steeper edge of the Strait and then stepped into the main as she turned to flood. We are making good time...7.5 knots, and should arrive in Port Townsend in the wee hours tomorrow morning.
All is well on True Blue, We send our love, Alice, Kate and Pam
