Hello friends
Allymar is ready and the crew is on board. Wondrful NW winds the last 2 days as we prepared to leave. Did the final provisioning this morning at the Safeway in Reedsport. Then I noticed the change. The wind was coming over the stern rather than the bow. Flags were performing the same dance overhead. Oh boy is that really happening!. Checked the weather forecast, and we will heve southerly winds for 3 days and then a retrun to the NWerlies. The low seems to be turning at Cape Mendocino and Califonia is still with NW winds.
The current and wave direction is from ther north, and when a south wind bulids the waves pack up and develop a greater frequency and amplitude = we would be plowing into them and not making much progress south. Another option is to go far offshore on a port tack and then loop back on a starboard tack as the NW winds return. I think the best option is to wait it out and go on friday hopefully. Plan is to put the capes and points about 20 NM to port on the way down stopping at Humboldt Bay is the fog allows and then SF.
Right now the sun is warm, the day is bright and it is casadilla time.
Aloha
Ken

Brian, Lilly and I will be staying in Trinidad this holiday weekend for some ocean R&R. Leaving Chico Friday afternoon, and returning home on Monday. Would drive down to Eureka (Woodley Island Marina?)if you think you might be there. The cabin in Trinidad has internet reception so let me know.
