We spent all yesterday reprovisioning and working cargo and now we are underway going south. The wind is now on our backs, so it looks like not only are we making good time, but we have less spray so less ice. We only have 100 or so refers so our barge checks should go quick. The captain said we might make it to seattle by the 8th. In the meantime, the ice is melting on the boat and the overheads are leaking nasty brown water all over the boat.

Rusty water dripping sounds awful, but the wind at your back is a good thing. Enjoyable from a distance.
