About Angk

My husband and I lived aboard MV DESERT VENTURE and cruised for most of thirteen years. We traveled the west coast of North America, between Juneau, Alaska, and Barra de Navidad, MX. This blog is about living aboard full time, voyages, boat maintenance, new places, and meeting old and new friends.

Underway – Headed South – Arrived Eureka, CA

We had a good overnight trip. We had excellent visibility the entire way!  The almost full moon, shaded nicely by some light clouds, shed a little light.  The seas smoothed out, but with a westerly swell that rolled us a little. We did fine.

We arrived Eureka, CA, just before noon today (Wednesday).  We ran about 243 nautical miles, for 29 hours.  We had some good currents that helped increase our average speed.

We are tired, but the boat is now clean – of salt, and of “leftovers” from the birds who apparently rode topside! Yuck!

Will write more after we get some sleep!
