Day 38 4289 miles

22 July 2015 | Underway
yes we re calculated our miles and found out we missed out 4000 mark party oh well we will have to celebrate double at out landfall..

and that does not count all the little wigglies in between.. and boy did we do that last 24 hours.. last 18 we tacked 4 times.. as the winds went from NNW to NW to W that was ugly.. then WSW then SW then S we at times were headed due north... then due south the seas were trying to catch up to the winds.. that was too all over the place we we were getting flogged just like my poor Geni... do this am sun came out for a show.. then gone then drizzle dark the sun now seas are a bit narley.. yet we have the winds to 24 to throw us over and down then at 7.5 8 plus even seen 9 today yet we are happier as we are back to NW winds cold tho. but this is a better tack for us. for the mouth of Juan de Fuca some 442 miles away.. as the crow flies.. and we hope to be on the track..

as we Sean and I pooped we had to drive it alot as poor Barry never new what way the winds were coming at him .. one minute he was facing port the next starboad.. so yea

we hope it settles over the next 24.. at least back to around 18 and then the seas sort them selves out as with only 442 let to go till we in the straight.. then about 50 to P Anglese

ttfn

vicky and sean..

position 48 27.88N 135 45.5W sog 6.2 cog 097 winds 18-22 made 136 last 24 with the zig and zags..
