Miles motored day 20: 120
Miles traveled total : 2,521
Miles to Port Angeles: 2,411
15 hours later and we’re still motoring, waiting for the wind to fill back in. The spot forecast I requested this morning at 6:00 said we’d have 27 knots of wind by now. Either the low has totally slowed down, or turned north sooner than we expect. We’re waiting for some weather faxes in another 2 hours to see what’s happening, and watching the anemometer hoping it starts going above 4 knots.
The great news is that we’re back in the western hemisphere. We crossed the date line around noon, giving us an extra day. Don’t know that either of us have ever had a 32 day month before, but now we will. It would be better if that happened while we are on anchor in some lovely spot, but that’s not how it works, is it? We’re still hoping for an end of the first week in August landfall. The best news is that we’re over half way. It’s always a bonus day when the miles to go clocks over to be less than the miles traveled. We’ve crossed off two milestones in the same day, with not much else going on.
Today on Yohelah we’re happy to be in our hometown hemisphere, trying to figure out how to get the new 32 day month of July into the rhyme: 30 Day has September……
