Winds moderate upwards of 20 knots, light air at night. Clear skies, good vis, water 68°.

Very comfortable conditions, lite winds 3 - 4 ft swells. We were able to fuel up, change the oil on the main engine, exit docs done and provisioning done in 3hrs. Then shoved off well before sunset towards San Diego. Did our check-in on line then had to take a call from the Coastguard at midnight. They had questions regarding Nikolay’s documents. lol. We made a quick stop in the Police Dock, met Rosie, Nikolay’s wife. She dropped off his cold weather gear for the trip to Anacortes. They are dropping me off at Dana Point and picking up my replacement. Good trip!

Conditions were calm most of the trip. Mostly overcast all 5 days. Had a little wind after Cabo for a few hours, 18kt winds with gusts to 24kt. I worked as crew for Nikolay of SD Captains. I cooked as well as standing night & day watch and handling lines.

10-15 knots true wind close reach sail (35 degrees). 4-5 ft waves. Could not work as getting nauseous. Lots of sargasm. Had to tack a few times due to wind.
