SSB posting is fun!

Hi all, We are sitting at achor in Mackaye Harbor enjoying another beautiful sunset, that while many of you inland and to the south get so frequently, we have been spoiled this month by our out of the ordinary stream of great sunsets on nearly a daily basis. Unfortunately the wind was on the nose again today, which meant that we again had to motor, but we have high hopes for tomorrow since the forecast for crossing the straits is W wind 5-15 kts with seas of 1-2 ft, changing to a northerly 5-15 kts as we enter the Admiralty Inlet. So long as the fog stays away, it should be great. Our check in to the US was uneventful, yeah! We took the opportunity to get an hours worth of free moorage in Friday Harbor for a run to the store to get cream and a few other essentials, then back to the boat, and again, ugh, motored, to the very pleasant Mackaye Harbor where we are poised for an earlyish crossing of the straits tomorrow.
By the way, my previous test posting was actually done from just outside of Friday Harbor, today, and the computer date was wrong, the location named was from a previous trial at posting, which was also wrong. So ignore that.
