We are anchored in Port Angeles next to Jared on "Friday". Talked to Roy on Rabouka on his ssb for first time on 4A at 18:00 check in and it worked fine and so did his radio (first contact with a human on the radio). He is still a few hours out. 

We will leave early and unless something changes, not stop at Neah and just keep going, with Newport as the planned stop unless something else dictates a change. 

We monitor VHF 16 24/7, so call if you want to chat. 

Stay in touch and good luck all...

Hello All:

We are in Port Angeles at slip O-3. We had a sail problem today (our in-mast furler jammed), but Gay has already been up the mast and fixed it (she was the lightest candidate). Will be on the net tomorrow at 6am. Kevin and I tested our SSBs on both 2Mhz and 4A successfully. Kevin, unless I hear from you that plans have changed, I’ll try on 2Mhz first and then on 4A. Brian, did you ever get your radio working?

Cheers,

Brad Gibson, W9LSR
