not done with the North Pacific High yet...

Seeker was plagued with light headwinds again today, eventually becoming light and variable enough that we switched on the motor and motored north for about 3 hrs. We then picked up some light but favourable breeze from the northwest, and went back to being a sailboat.

Also, while motoring, we saw some large debris in the water ahead, and upon approaching, what appeared to be a round bouy and a mooring bouy turned out to be a round bouy and an albatross sitting on the water, which proceeded to unfold its great wings and soar off in the trough of a wave.

Just curious, are these Laysan Albatross or the browner ones ("Brown albatross" i think)?
