Have not heard from Turicum over the weekend, however if you have been following the tracker they are making steady progress. They are currently 532 nm from home. They have managed to keep some steady speeds over the weekend. The weather continues to look favorable for the rest of their journey.
Now for my little contest. I have 3 estimates for Turicum's arrival in Victoria:
Terry Reid - Aug 15 @ 17:00 PDT
Gunnar - Aug 15 @ 18:00 PDT
Darren - Aug 15 @ 20:00 PDT
Some of you may be feeling shy about guessing, but let's have some fun. You have just as much information as the rest (Perhaps more if you have received a phone call). Make your best guess for their arrival time in Victoria and send it to me. I will announce who is closest when we know their final arrival time.
Anyone watching the blog that does not have my email address. Please leave a comment and I will watch for these.
Just got an update directly from the boat.
Turicum reports fine weather with 13 knots of wind across the beam. They have been maintaining a steady 7 knots of boat speed. They are currently aimed straight at the entrance of Juan de Fuca with 500 nm to Victoria. All crew is reporting that they are happy, but looking forward to getting home to see family and friends.
