We arrived in Allison Harbor about 9:45 am yesterday. It was a bumpy ride the last hour with 4 to 5 foot chop, but once we cruised to the head of the inlet it immediately settled down and we had a very lovely evening.
Mid morning today four boats came into the Harbor (the SlowBoat flotilla), so now we have five boats and we are expecting at least 3 additional boats to arrive about 5PM. These are the boaters that we met in Blind Channel and then again in Pt. McNeil. Then there will be 8 boats waiting around to cross Cape Caution. Our current plan (and everyone else’s here) is to round Cape Caution tomorrow based on favorable data from our apps and perhaps a check of West Sea Otter reporting buoy and most importantly an update from Chris our weather guy!
On a personal family note the most amazing news of the day came from an unexpected mid-morning call from our youngest son Matthias and his partner Melinda who live in London. They are expecting a baby boy in early December!!! So grand baby number 3 is on the way! We already had a trip planned to see them departing LA just after Christmas, so the timing should be perfect to help out with the new little one.
Congrats! Enjoying following along with your journey. All the benefits of a flotilla, nice!
