Huzzah Cruising the Northwest

Leg one of our adventure has been completed. After covering 840 nautical miles in nine days, we dropped our hook off Sausalito Yacht Club at 3:30 pm today! We promptly broke out the Kraken and celebrated our journey!

My personal thanks to Ken & Fred for making this trip so fun! In spite of very challenging condition early in the voyage, we peservered! Ken was rock solid in every attribute category and never even got quezy in the rough patches. And Fred, spoiled us with awesome meals throughout the trip!

The crew change starts tomorrow with Fred & Ken heading home. Jody will arrive Saturday, and we will cruise the Bay for a couple weeks.

Life is great aboard Huzzah!
