(Thursday 7/25) Mid-day Monday we left Bremerton for points unknown, our plan is to stop when we get tired. Wow we made it to Port Townsend but the last 3-5 miles was rough. We were taking water on the deck as far back as the cockpit. A couple of waves went over the dodger. We anchored off downtown and had rough night at anchor. We went into the marina the next morning fueled up for the long run home. Because of a bad weather forecast we decide to spend one more day in PT. We learned something new about the Strait. It creates its own weather phenomenon. As the inland surfaces heat that cold stretch of water does not. This causes strong (sometimes gale force winds) without the usual weather systems. So plan your trip in the early morning to be off the water by noon or wait for an overcast day. We made it to Port Angeles yesterday. Today we traveled 55 nautical miles and are safely anchored in Neah Bay. It's about 3:00p and the winds have piped up to about 20knots. Tomorrow we head south along the coast. The weather reports look good for the next 2 days. We filed a float plan with our friend James and since there is no internet here if you are reading this blog we probably made it...Joe.
