Getting close

Winds have gone light as seeker approaches a ridge of high pressure that is parked off the coast. We have decided to motor through the night, using about a third of our remaining fuel, but it should get us to the northwesterlies on the other side of the ridge. Which should, in turn, carry us to Cape Flattery and beyond!

Meanwhile, we've found that our radar does indeed work, when we spotted a freighter this evening 7 miles off. A brief radio exchange revealed that he had already spotted us and plotted a course to miss us by 3.6 miles. Glad we're not the only ones watching out in this fog.

Seeker out
