Travis - 22:00 May 3, 2014 - Just off Victoria BC
The trip down to Astoria started with a sunny "delivery" style commute to Victoria on Friday. Leaving the dock in Vancouver at 9:30am was a great change from our original plan of a 5am departure. We spend a fun night in Victoria, RVicYG. Leaving RVYC at 8:50pm, we have started out to Astoria. As usual, the weather has not materialized as forecasted and we are motoring towards Race Rocks as I type this. With the delayed travel, Jason and Mackenzie were unable to make the trip, so we are at 5 currently on board. The group has been fantastic. Eric, found on the VicMaui crew bank, has been a fantastic find and has fit in exceptionally well with the group. Hopefully we get some wind as I know everyone will be frustrated with continued motoring for the next 36 hours if it does not build.
It is typical boating as we leave the dock this evening. The steering light is really dim and needs to be replaced at our earliest option, the starboard steering wheel has a slight squeak to it that needs tending to - hopefully we can resolve it in the light of day tomorrow.
That is all for now, but many more email updates to come as we have systems to test :)
