Anacortes to LA Day 11

We left at 6:30 after running the engine to confirm the batteries were charging. No leaks of coolant or oil from the manifold the only issue was it was going to be the sea state running to due to max ebb at 7:30. These bars should be negotiated before slack or on the flood but if you are heading out you can get away with going on the ebb in calm weather. However you must be committed because turning around is not really and option.

Popping wheelies on the Grays Harbor Bar.

Steep 8 footers and water on the deck with a little through the forhatch. Then upon successfully catching the drone Har Rai when walking forward to the cockpit drone in one hand and remote in the other fell onto the side deck and dropped the drone. It bounced before it went overboard and in his despair lost his glasses as well. It can not be said enough. “one hand for the ship and one hand for the sailor.” Madison was standing by on the aft deck and could have carried the remote while Har Rai carried the drone.
