Well I finally passed Cape Mendocino on Wednesday last week. After a night at Shelter Cove (which isn't really much shelter) I came into the Noyo River and Fort Bragg. A really serious wind was forecast for yesterday, and it did not disappoint. It blew a full gale most of the afternoon. The seas are forecast to lay down by tomorrow, so I plan to head south on the high tide in the morning. With a little fair weather I could make it to San Francisco this week.

All the best on the next difficult leg. A much deserved break awaits in Quesnel, after San Francisco. Stay safe, and have fun!
