We made it down to Gonzaga Bay this morning. We have traveled through some rough windy weather and some very calm nice days. We seem to prefer the 5 am departure in the dark with stars and phosphorescence.
We have met some really nice people along the way. Thank you to Dave & Carol for the nice cold beer. We also met a group of folks one evening who offered us dinner if Doug would fillet their fish. We think we got the better end of the deal! Come to find out, one of them had sport fished in Coffman Cove.
We have been making about 20 miles a day and 100 total so far. We are 1/8th of the way and hope to be in LA Bay by the end of the next week. Internet is scarce along the coast so our updates are few and far between at this point.
We saw a Whale Shark yesterday but didn't have a chance to swim with it though. Maybe we can if we see another one.
We plan on leaving tomorrow on our next leg so enough for now. Sorry no pictures at this point. Maybe next stop.
Adios amigos!
sounds you had some bad waves, hope it is good sailing from here out.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a good time even with " big water" and big sharks.. :) miss you guys. Can't wait to hear the next blog..
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having an adventure of a lifetime, Doug! Kath gave me your blog address the other day!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you are making your way towards the arches. Keep on paddling..... I'll wave to you guys as I fly overhead on my way to Chile. Keep a lookout for the Blue Whales and stay away from the killer squid.
