Day 19 to Alaska-- Fourth of July

Noon position 7/4/16: 48 57.9367N 147 01.9963W

Happy Fourth of July! The most excitement we are having on our holiday is that the wind has picked back up into the 20s again. With the wind, the seas have picked up, so we are bouncing and rolling again. But we are making good time. This current windy bit is supposed to last through tomorrow morning and then it should moderate again. Morale is a little touch and go because bouncing around like this is so uncomfortable. We look forward to it settling down.

Lars and Odin were given a package by Asunto to open 1 week out from Sitka. We gave it to them to open this morning, it's another milestone! That, and last night we passed Seattle's latitude, we are now north of home and patiently riding out our third low (or aspiring to patience).
