Position Update 9/16: Day 24

We had a much tougher night last night due to a continuous stream of storms that swept over us. Today we are much more tired than usual because of the additional work that storms require - sails up/down, reefs in/out, all night long. Today we got a break and have had pretty decent winds and no squalls!

In our weather update from the WeatherGuy we received a significant course change - we will begin heading more or less directly toward Seattle. This knocked over 300 nm from our remaining distance. on the other hand we have some really light wind days ahead. After the past couple days of storms, we are looking forward to that. Time to get some laundry done and some other chores that we can't do in heavier wind. After inputting the new route into our plotter, it still estimates our arrival time within a day or two of the previous estimate - still Oct 1-4 timeframe.
