We are off! Off the dock and heading south. I said we would head south until the butter melts. This summer in BC the butter was melting so I understand everyone's confusion. But in the middle of August the smoke from the wildfires cleared and the temperatures dropped. The butter is no longer melting.
Time to head south!
It's August 16 and we are in Sydney BC. The sky is a brilliant blue that is common in BC.
All the more brilliant
when set against the evergreen forest and the emerald green sea. Sailed with porpoises and killer whales to get here. Not sure if I really want to leave. This is such a beautiful province.
Beautiful BC! No shit!
But the butter is hard and a weather window is opening. Time to head south. We should clear customs in Friday Harbour tomorrow and then head out Juan de Fuca on the weekend. Excited and scared, as I always am at the start of a new adventure.
We hope to be in San Fransisco by the end of August. We are chasing our friends on Double Deuce. Chase is the appropriate word, since they are 15' longer. We will not see much of them until San Francisco
Jacquie and I will be celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary on August 28th. Hope to be in San Francisco for this, but we may still be at sea, depending on the weather.
Wish us luck. More posts when we reach San Francisco
