The weather forecast sounded okay for the trip south from San Juan Island to Astoria, OR. So we headed out from Garrison Bay on SJI at 0615 on placid waters, and with the current with us. We ran around Discovery Point, Trial Island and finally Race Rocks staying off shore sufficiently to avoid any adverse current as the day went on. We stayed on the Canada side of the Straits of Juan de Fuca to manage a more direct line with Cape Flattery, keeping the shipping lanes to our south. The E10-15 knot winds kicked up allowing us to sail some, but the seas were choppy against an incoming current for most of the day. We rounded Cape Flattery, WA at 1810, and headed south with NW10-15 knot winds, sailing under the jib SOG 5.7knots. ETA at the Columbia River Bar will be around 10pm, Saturday night. The moon is out; the stars are out. All is well!
