Smooth sailing - in fact incredible. Got a couple of not great shots of a pod of killer whales. Saw many humpbacks and dolphins at Cape Spencer, but no great photos. The water is glassy as we cross the Gulf. Going to be in Anchorage in a couple of days.

Uhhh….oops

Ok, so I have been on a trip since Honolulu… but there was a snafu in the sat phone email, so all my posts didn’t get posted.  I have been super busy this week putting all my belongings in storage, and forgot to update this.  Now I am off to Alaska again.  This is my last trip as a cook — only 20 days to go!!!!!!  However, I won’t be back from this trip for 60.  Hopefully I will be taking my License exam the week I return.  There is a lot of paperwork logistics to figure out though.

I will try to write a more thoughtful post later and see if I can get the satphone to work.  Should be able to post some pics when I get to Anchorage in 10 days or so.

Land Ho… So we have made a pretty uneventful crossing of The Gulf. The old man decided to go for Cape Decision instead of Dixon because of a low chasing us, with possible gales, but it’s only putting us back 6 hours or so.
