Breakfast at 8.  We can hear whales' songs resonating through the hull of the Cheiftain.  Due to tidal constraints the Lady (who's 11 foot draft was sitting in the mud) couldn't make it out of the harbour until late in the afternoon so we started out today with a solo adventure sail.  The weather was beautiful and the sailing was great.  The boss reported gusts upwards of 30 knots, almost ten higher than what NOAA predicted.  Mike, the engineer/gunner on the Cheiftain gunned his last today leaving for things bigger, better, or otherwise and we whooped the Lady in the battle with a starboard broadside.  The other boat left for Coos Bay this evening and we're leaving tomorrow afternoon.  In any event, I've galley duty now and there are three pieces of my hand in the rigging.  Peace out.
