Currently not tracking
The sea is calling, but Dan Cordell isn't tracking right now. Come back later!
Kestrel
Seattle
Cruising full time on s/v Kestrel with my partner. I'm very into DIY, especially electrical and software, and even have made knives as a hobby. I love working on my boat, even the bits involving boat yoga. I'm more than happy to help fellow cruisers with technical tasks, especially if you'll feed me or give me beer!
Not much wind, but a whole lot of current, mostly with us. And now we're cleared into Canada!
Had a nice chill sail + motor up to Sucia, dropped the hook in nice shallow water in Shallow Bay, and even saw orcas on the way!
Had a 2-4kn current with us all morning until nearly half way across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, making for a nice quick trip. Glad we set off at 6am to catch it! Pity the only wind most of the day was light and directly in our faces!
First trip as full time cruisers, we'll head into the San Juan Islands tomorrow!
No wind to sail on until we were almost back to the locks, but we got to see a pod of porpoises playing!
Nice gentle downwind sail for the first third, then motoring on no wind!
Well, at least we had wind to sail on for the first hour...
Dead calm day on Puget Sound
15-20 knots outside, 5 knots of wind in Manzanita Bay. Time to tuck in for a cozy weekend.
Incredibly calm, a nice difference from the past several days!
