Made out to the Pacific Ocean 8-13

Ahoy ! We made it out into the Pacific Ocean this morning and are now out about 10-15 miles and turned to head down the coast. There's a light wnw wind and very little swell or wind waves and we're sailing under full main, jib and staysail making about 4 knots. This morning as we motored out the strait and around Tatoosh island and rocks to the nw of it, we met up with some 6-7 foot swell. It's a ride going those. The fog closed in to about 1/4 mile earlier, but know it's bright overcast with visibility about 5 miles.
Tonight will be our first full night at sea, so we'll see how that goes. If it stays overcast it's going to be dark, dark, dark. So far the weather forecasst looks terrific with north winds 10-20 and moderate seas, all the way through Friday. We should be in Newport on Thursday or Friday. More later.
