The Trip - Day 19

[this is being written by Jackson's Dad]

here's the latest post from Michael, which is entitled "mon." it arrived at 3:36 pm East Coast time.
------------------------
We are at 39.06 n 131.50 w
We just got the NE winds at 11:00 last night, turned off the motor and are sailing straight along our rhumb line to SF, just 440 miles away!

we are getting about 10 kts and beam reaching at 5-6 kts, if we stay at 5 we will be in in 4 days, at 6 kts, 3 days.
We have 100 % overcast cold conditions.
We saw one of the other boats this morning, so we sailed over to each other and exchanged some treats!
Have never passed so close to another ship at sea before, really fun.
So, no matter what happens now, we can make it in, down to our last roll of toilet paper, last roll of paper towels, we have sufficient water, we are out of fresh fruit.
Don't really feel like cooking, but should be enough cooking gas, to keep hot tea and soups coming.  Then plenty of canned goods toeat.

weatheer forecast call for good conditions all the way into the Bay, and we should beat any Gales coming down from the North.
OUr world is upside down, we went from Starbd tack since Hawaii, since Tahiti for me, and now our first Port tack, we are leaning the opposite side.
bye for  now
