Blog posts will be forthcoming, but I wanted to send out a quick post for those that want to follow our adventures in real-time.
If you follow us on social media, you know that we’re currently staged in Neah Bay, WA (anchored only, the community is closed to outsiders during Covid) and leaving this afternoon for our Pacific Ocean passage down to Newport, Oregon.
Here are the various links to follow us:

Last Thursday night, we left Port Angeles at about 8:45pm and motored west up the Strait of Juan de Fuca through the pitch blackness. We chose to move at night in order to avoid bigger winds blowing in the strait the next day which could have made the trip much more uncomfortable.
We had a bit of excitement when we hit something, still unknown, just before midnight. I believe it was likely a crab pot buoy and line and that our propeller cut the line (thankfully instead of it wrapping the prop and disabling the engine). Thankfully, we didn’t have any other excitement, but we did get to watch some stunning bioluminescence in the water around us and a meteor shower overhead.
We arrived at Neah Bay in first light and anchored before going to bed.
