Day 21 to Alaska-- Headwinds

Noon position 7/6/16: 51 25.8286N 143 35.2546W
Noon to noon distance travelled: 98 nm
Total distance travelled: 2223 nm
Distance to Sitka: 452 nm

Ugh. Headwinds. They were forecast, but they seem to be stronger than what our models suggested. So we are heeled over and crashing through waves. Ugh. Hopefully the forecast is correct that they should swing to coming from the west this afternoon for a more comfortable ride.

Other than that, we are just anxious to get there. It's great to see the miles to Sitka tick down.
