Date/time: June 26, 2006, 12:00 local (z-9) Position at noon: 64D45'N 166D51'W Noon to noon 162 nm Avg. speed: 6.75 kts Miles to Nome 46 NM Course bearing: 135D T Sea state: SE swells at 4' Wx: Wind SE 10 to 15 kts; fog until 00, then gradually thins-out. We could see little Diomede, but nothing else from our turn around the point. Water temp: 6.0D C (min seen was 0.5D C) Crew: Ben, Brad, Kevin & Kurt Remarks: Now we can turn back south again, it's cold up here. Darn cold taking pictures with a 15-kt wind. We've done the big job, getting around, but the trip is not over. We still have 46-days before we get to Shelter Island Marina in Vancouver. That's more than most people's vacation; and it is through the best cruising grounds in the world, so we won't despair. -- Ben Gray Idlewild Custom Buehler 55 powered by a 55-hp Kubota Home port: Dunvegan, Alberta http://www.idlewildexpedition.ca http://dieselducks.com/Idelwild.html http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com To follow Idlewild with Google Earth: http://tinyurl.com/ksnhg For the Trawler M/V JPEG version: http://tinyurl.com/ovdt7
