Sunday, 15-July, 15:39 local time: After our 4 am recovery, we sailed northwest, towards the next site, offshore of Vancouver Island. Unfortunately, high winds streaming along a ridge between high pressure in the Gulf of Alaska and a low off California brought high seas, reducing safety on the main deck and postponing that recovery. We, instead, sailed past this site to the northernmost station, thus buying some time. This strategy worked, recovery at the northernmost site was fast and efficient. We now cruise towards the last site on this line with following seas, a nice ride at last.
