Our noon position today was 41 degrees 10 minutes N, 152 deg. 12 min. W, about 1200 nm WSW of Cape Flattery, and about the same latitude as Eureka, California. We've been motoring for the past 28 hours in a light following wind. Lots of fog, too. If time was of no issue, we could sail very slowly, but it is an issue. We all have things we need or want to get back for.
Score one for modern technology. The AIS has alarmed on a number of ships, but one of them two nights ago would have crossed our bow in the fog very closely. I called them with DSC (Digital Selective Calling, a new capability for us with this new radio), and they altered course to pass astern of us.
Don is doing great service as our cook. He made a great Thom Kha Gai (Thai chicken soup) today. He and I both washed our hair today, too. Deneb called foul on us.
