Latitude 34-50 N Long. 153-46 W @ 1500 HST
There are many transitions in life…Some of them happy, some of them sad. I remember the happiness in my heart on the day of my oldest daughter's wedding. On the opposite side of the spectrum I remember the sadness of my father's passing. It's with a bit of a sad note that Allure had a transition of her own. In the last 24 hours we have gone from Island weather to "who knows what". Today brought first, a loss of wind, we had to motor for an extended period for the first time. Daybreak found us with overcast skies, much different than the beautiful sunrises we've enjoyed. The heavier layers of clothing and foul weather gear came out. As we are approaching the High we are encountering an array of conditions. At one moment it will be howling wind and rain, followed by calm, followed by wind shifts. In the coming days I expect we'll continue this pattern until we are on the other side of the high and the Westerly's carry us home.
We are eating great: Don't know of too many bare cabin racing boats having French Toast (Yesterday) or pancakes (today) for breakfast. Crew spirits are high, morale is great. More tomorrow…
Cookie
Thanks Cookie inventory of the "Gold Locker" indicates this bare cabin racing boat has ample grog to make the mainland, however the Tequila supply seems to have gone down at an alarming rate. Whiskey supply fair, and box wine better than expected. Ship' crew will report to the mess hall for Tequila investigation starting with the stewards department….Now where are my ball bearings…COOKIE!!!
