Well, we made it. The final night was a little fogging but ok. The sails were doused in the evening as the wind slowed and the engine was started. I was planning to arrive no sooner than 09:30 a.m. at the jetty for the start of the flood tide, so we slowed the engine for a SOG (speed over ground) of 5.0 knots. As we got closer to Coos Bay we heard the bar report as fishermen were calling the Coast Guard and it was favorable. So we revved up the engine to a normal cruising RPM and were able to arrive at our slip at 09:00. I had planned to fill up the diesel tank before tying up at the slip but we were to tired. After making sure Summer Place was tied up securely, we took showers and then laid down for a well deserved nap. We made it home safe, the boat preformed very well, we performed very well. I am ready to go again to a different place and a new adventure.
Sometime soon.....................
