Ship's Log:
So the world really is a small place. today we heard a call on the
radio from a nearby sailing vessel. Due to the fog this vessel put out a
safety call to alert others of his position. I responded as i thought it
might be a large deep sea ship headed our way. It turns out this vessel is
a Victorian boat we met in Mexico. More interesting is the ´Western Grace´
was under construction at the same time as the Pacific Grace and our Grace
was instrumental in the naming of the Western Grace. at present we are only
6 miles apart. John and his crew left Hawaii the same day we did and is
heading for Juan de Fuca strait. How weird is that? Tomorrow I am thinking
of asking him if he would like to have one of those 200 yr. old meetings at
sea where one captain comes over for a visit and you enjoyed a cup of tea
together while one declares war on the other. I have nothing against john,
so war is not on the agenda, but a mid ocean tea party could be fun.
All are well and enjoying the calmer weather.
