Gregory's ServerWe are doing well. We left Sitka and sailed offshore, stopping twice to anchor, and did two overnight sails. Had a bit of engine trouble, managed to fix it. We had good weather to start, but the sail through Dixon Entrance was very rough. More on all this later.
We should arrive in Prince Rupert later today.

We have arrived back into Canada, Pino is docked in Prince Rupert. We are tired and tired. It had been a LONG time since we've done an overnight sail. The first was very nice, with calm seas, good wind, and so much wild life! We stopped pointing out breaching whales to each other because there were so many. I saw a puffin for the first time, many sea otters, and lots of black-footed albatrosses(they're so big)! The second was in big weather, with rough seas... not as relaxing. We had a very stressful engine issue since before arriving in Sitka. We figured out what was wrong in the end(bad thermostat), but for a while we couldn't depend on it... it made for very anxiety-inducing moments. Twice we had to sail and row Pino to an anchoring spot. Occasional gusts of wind made it easier to progress toward our planned anchoring spot.  @rek you'd think for larger boats there would be some sort of bicycle power option. Glad you're good. @cbleslie we talk about that a lot, itโs be amazing, but itโs hard to make a robust system, esp one we can deploy fast and that wonโt get in the way while not in use. @rek oh my, that sounds brutal. Glad to hear you are safe in a port where hopefully you can get things sorted  @Hellien @rek des gens de la communaute Merveilles en meme temps que la conference Handmade |
@rek wishing you constant winds and clear sky!
