“Getting around the Pacific High” has proven mostly elusive. Jus when we think we have gotten east of it, it decides to move east–poof! Just like that! This certainly extends our effort is “easting” enough to get to the other side of the high into the northeasterlies. So today was another motoring day in the “desert” of the Pacific. Lot of trash out here–‘really disheartening. The swell coing from the ESE from Hurricane Marie is big and merges with the swell coming from the gale up in the Gulf of Alaska making for some really BIG swell that we go Up-And-Over. It really extends our view for those moments. Today was fish tacos for lunch and fish cracker crumb saute for dinner. The albatross showed up again of course-‘hasn’t missed a day of saluting us with its huge wing span. More ships have passed close by heading to SFO, L.A., Mexico or Panama–their AIS data gives their destinatin along with their course over ground and speed. The wind came out of the west for a while this afternoon and we hope to have more of it tomorrow! It is so beautiful out here!
