VANCOUVER to SAN FRANCISCO: DEPARTURE DAY!

Today we leave for San Francisco...finally!

Nope, not all is done, but it is time to go.

We will stop at least 2 nights around the Gulf Islands/Victoria area before crossing over to Port Angeles in the USA. However, current weather forecasts for the coast of Washington state are not favourable for us (S or SE winds ... i.e., winds against us), so we may be waiting for a better weather window.


Below (and on our "Where are we?" page) is how to follow us on the web:

POSITION REPORTS: CHECK THE WEB TO SEE WHERE WE ARE/HAVE BEEN
We are now sending in "position reports" to Winlink and/or YOTREPS (when we are out cruising). These reports are visible on a map on the web

Preferred:
View Pelagia's Position Reports (SHIPTRACK)


Alternative:
View Pelagia's Position Reports on YOTREPS 
View Pelagia's Position Reports (Winlink 2000)





VIEW OUR "LIVE" POSITION ON AIS
http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/datasheet.aspx?datasource=ITINERARIES&MMSI=316014173


Or, use our MMSI number 316014173 on any other web-based AIS system to follow us.
 
Note: Don't worry if we do not show up on AIS. AIS only works while we are on the move. Importantly, there must be shore stations nearby to receive our signal (there are no stations on the northern coast of Washington (Olympic Peninsula)).  Also, if we are farther than 50-75 miles off the coast, we will not show up.
