that's my time estimate to get the boat the approx 500 NM from where it is to where I is. that's half the distance from here to Sitka on the outside route, which is the further plan.
to start, we, (boat and I), will descend through three locks about 245 feet to sealevel, over about 250 statute miles, then add on about 250 nautical miles to get to the mooring to refit for the Alaska leg.
I won't be spending much time online, but I will check in from time to time and if anything interesting happens (
) I will try to update this post occasionally. This will probably constitute the entire trip log as I am desperately challenged as a record-keeper.Here is the data sheet on the boat: http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=593
They have a great reputation as good sailors and very good seaboats, which I am sure to test thoroughly on this shakedown cruise.
Prayers UP for all of You'All, that your voyages are in fair wind and tides, and that the storm tracks avoid your tracks.
