The Washington State coast was passable, as the winds were relatively light, and the seas calming down after earlier winds. We passed Neah Bay in 24 hours from Astoria, a good pace. The morning looked promising, so we decided to push for Victoria, BC and Canada Customs. We checked into Customs by phone. Then we refueled, topping off our two belly tanks with 40 gallons. We made our way to the Causeway Marina in front of the Empress Hotel. It felt so good to have made it there!
