lake Pacific


9/14 1845 local
N35 35 W153 49
heading 058-degress T; wind SW 4-knots
The barometer is up as we skirt around the northwest side of the high. Until today we've mostly had enough wind to sail, but this evening we finally had to turn on the engine. We used the flat boat as a great excuse to play Hearts though, and our buddy, the albatross, flew around the boat again at sunset. It was another terrific and (dare I say!) easy day out here. George sketched an amazing rendering of a little flying fish who had launched itself into the cockpit sometime last night. And Susan
apparently figured out her life plan on her 0400-0600 watch last night. Like the song! "On a midnight watch, I realized...something, something." Anyway, as we head east, we will surely get into some bigger weather, so we are stocking up now on rest and general calmness.
