What a gadabout Dave is! He has moved a full mile from Dixie Cove to a snug little un-named cove near Whiteley Island. I would expect he is sheltering from the Southerly gale warning on the coast and having a good look around.

Near Whiteley Island
Hi all,
What a gadabout Dave is! He has moved a full mile from Dixie Cove to a snug little un-named cove near Whiteley Island. I would expect he is sheltering from the Southerly gale warning on the coast and having a good look around.

No word
Dave may have decided to do some exploring. The winds offshore are not favourable for sailing south. They will turn back to the northerlies hopefully on Monday. Stay tuned.
Cheers! Pete.

Dixie Cove
Hi all,
It looks like Dave is doing some great sightseeing. He is now anchored at Dixie Cove Marine Park. This is one of the areas he really wanted to explore.
Cheers! Pete.

Bunsby Islands
Sorry It took me a day to post this. I was battling either the flu or food poisoning. I spent most of the last 20 hrs on the big white telephone.
In any case, yesterday Dave made it to the Bunsby Islands. Just south of the Brooks Peninsula.

Brooks Peninsula
At around 2:00 P.M. I received a location from Dave. He has made it around Brooks Peninsula.
Things may go a wee bit slower for a while since there are some heavy seas out there. Looks like he's tucked into a snug anchorage.

KMZ file to view
Hi all,
The following is a link to the GPS track that Dave has been recording since we left Olympia. Thanks to Andy Jeschke for creating this for us. I have taken the libery of compressing it to a manageable size. If you click on the link, it should bring up a Dropbox dialog box. Click on open, and you will see a file called Flight of Cygnus.kmz. Double clicking on this file should start Google Earth and display our route so far.
If you have problems, email me or comment on this page.
Also, if you know of a way to post a direct link, please let me know, I would love to know how.
Cheers! Pete.

Klaskino Inlet
I think Dave is having some fun times sailing. He's moving fast behind a 30 to 35 knot N.W. wind. I wish I was there! He may hole up for a bit. I think the winds are getting a little high the next few days. He's in a spot called Anchorage Island.
