Ahoy! We've been at the port of Ilwaco for over a week now but it feels like we've been here a month. Our engine took about 4 days to be serviced, then we had to wait for a good weather window before leaving. We thought that this morning would be when we left, but there is a small craft advisory or something of that sort for crossing the bar until 1400 hours, so we're going to wait it out and enjoy the last summer Saturday market at the port of Ilwaco, yay!
While at port, I also proposed to my girlfriend Tianna! We've been having a blast all week and are grateful that Epic had to stay as long as it did. I'll still be sailing onward, but I'm going to depart the boat a little sooner than I had previously planned so I can be near my fiancée.
Arghhh, this be a sailin' blog! I'll quit boring you with my cloud nine love life. The winds look a little weak and finicky today and tomorrow, with winds building Monday-Wednesday up into the 20-25 knot range. I'd bet we make it to San Francisco in about 7 days. Should be fun!
