Position Update 9-3-16

IMG_1074
Hello all,
At 08:40 we are 151nm away from the SF Buoy. Our position is 38.49.576N x 126.32.967W. We have sailed over 2501nm the last 19 days, 8 hours and 40 minutes. Our heading is 130dT, average speed the last 21 hours has been 8-10kn. At this pace we are looking at a Sunday arrival late morning to early afternoon. The winds are gusting up to 32kts and the seas are up to eight feet and building. We are on a broad reach surfing our way in to our SF waypoint. It has been a rockin night and with first light we realized why when we could see the swells building and some breaking. It is a fun and exciting ride compared to the past several days of light wind and calm seas.
We will update you all again as we reach the Farallone Islands.
Hope to see you all soon. It has been an adventure but we are not out of the woods yet.
Conditions are looking great for the rest of our journey.
Time now for some classical music and a cup of coffee to to complete this beautiful morning sailing at sea.
