A WILD NIGHT

19 July 18
1200 Pacific Daylight Time
Position: 33' 05N 125' 29W

All is well aboard. We have 370 nm to go to Long Beach for our Customs/Immigration check-in. We need the wind to keep cooperating in strength, 12-18 kts please, and direction from the north. At present wind is North at 10-12 and we are making 4.2 kts. We do have fuel reserves but never sure exactly how much is in the tanks as there are no gauges.
Kathy had a wild watch last night with winds building from the start at 18 kts. till mid way through 35 to 40 kts. the forecast had been for 14-16. So much for forecasts!!!
Wind and fuel gods permitting we hope to be in Long Beach sometime late Sunday or early this coming Monday.
