Hello All,
We just spotted our first land in 30 days. We are just off the southern coast of Amatignak Island which is one of the southern Islands of the Andreanof Island group. Adak belongs to the same group of Islands. We had to get 2.5 miles from it just to see the beach because of the fog but it's land. We are 100 miles out from our destination in Sweeper Cove on the west side of Adak. The wind has been light so I have been helping with the engine at low RPM's. We have a 16 mile long pass between 2 Islands to get through tomorrow afternoon with the tide so I am pushing us to get there in a timely manner. The tide runs at 2.5 knots so I want to get there in time to have it help us through. There are currents out here also that have effected our speed for and against since this morning so I hope it doesn't mess with us to much on our approach.
We have also crossed over to the Western Hemisphere. This is the first time in 2 years Freestyle has been on this side of 180. We hope to be in Adak about this time tomorrow 1900, so we are really excited.
That's all for now so I will talk to you later.
PEACE
