Heading South (Again)

I am sitting on our boat in the Port Angeles marina contemplated the journey ahead. 1400 miles to San Diego and then another 1000 to Lapaz Mexico. Last time it took two and half months to get to Mazatlan (an additional 200 miles). It is a daunting task to think about. Rather then trying to do a straight shoot down like last time, I plan to make several stops along the way to break up the trip. I have three crew signed up for the trip each planning to hop off at some point south, so I may be looking for crew further south. This time we have a SPOT device that sends a message of our position as a email to Leiann and other crew members families. This should go a long way in decreasing family anxiety by knowing where we are and that all is well. The weather has gotten quite cold all of a sodden letting us (and the geese) know it’s time to go. We arrived back in the states on June 14th from our nine month trip in Europe and it has been a dead run for the last three months seeing our families and friends and trying to get a forty year old boat ready for sea. I will be updating the blog along the way. We head out to Neah Bay tomorrow at daylight and then leave Neah Bay for West port on Tuesday. We have a good weather window for leaving. So stay tuned for more Chrysalis (III) Adventures.
