We left Ucluelet this morning at 0915; once clear of the reefs we pointed our bow 180 south. It’s been sunny, clear and gorgeous out today. We took advantage of a light east wind blowing out of the straits and were able to sail for a few hours thankfully. The girls watched a couple DVDs this morning and promptly passed out in our bed and have been asleep for most of the afternoon. Everyone is a little queasy, tired, nervous but mostly excited. A lot of crackers and ginger cookies have been consumed today. It feels very, very nice to be on our way south at last.
Happy sailing! I am still bummed that we couldn’t meet. Maybe eventually?! Will be following your adventures on the blog.
May great adventures await you and you family,
Nadine
We had dinner at the marina in Bellingham in your honor tonight! Hope all is smooth out there tonight for you.
Way to go you guys!!!
