Another Low is approaching, but this one is the strongest we have seen thus far in Alaska. It will be 3 to 4 days before it possibly reaches us, but the winds show to definitely be in the 50 knot range when it does. Not knowing how long it might take for this next low to clear out of our area(once it arrives), we decided to continue sailing to Kodiak Island without stopping along the way. This evening as we write this “Noon Report” (does this mean it should be called an evening report?) we are rounding the southwest corner of Kodiak Island. The main communities are more toward the north end of the island, so it will be tomorrow before we official arrive to our next anchorage. It will be nice to again hang out in one general area for a while.
Today the sky was overcast, which made it feel a little more chilly. In addition, we are sailing far enough off shore that there is not much to see except the occasional small and distant island. Thus we have not really that much to report. The winds however are more than expected and have been around 30 knots today, but it is fairly comfortable sailing since we are sailing downwind.
Cheers,
Wade and Sara
