I can’t tell if it’s because we haven’t seen shore in a week, or the fact that we’re all a little upside down from the last few days of bumpy waters.

The winds have been shifting, the seas are confused, and the wildfire smoke from Canada has blown in.

Meanwhile, the half the crew are trying to get their day jobs done in between watches (wow the miracle marvel of Starlink). The other half of us are either retired or practicing for retirement. We don’t know what day it is.

No fish yet, but Graeme is wowing us with his culinary skills! These “better burritos” have been a favorite so far! Stuffed with rice, onion, bell paper, sharp white cheddar, shrimp and topped with sweet chili sauce!

We should be in Cambridge Bay by tomorrow, hopefully the forecasted wind will come through and get us there in a timely manner. Some well deserved showers and a load of laundry will help us reset for the next part of our journey.

Plus, we’re hoping we can catch up with the rest of the fleet that is doing the passage this year. Rusty has managed to get in a Whatsapp group chat with some of them, and we’re already missing the lunch parties! Hopefully we’ll clear some of this smoke and get to make some new friends soon!

I’ve been working on a Dogbark Dance Party playlist…what are some of your favorite songs to dance to?
