Captain Scott's Log ~ Wednesday, July 30, 2008 7:38 AM

Flat calm yesterday. But 22 kts of wind on the nose past 16 hrs. Reefed main and small #3 jib. The radar backstay mount came apart under the pounding. Commanders has us heading SE to penetrate a series of lows and connecting fronts that extends from Kodiac to Japan. Looks like 24 more hours of S...before we break free. Whale sounds are penetrating the hull but we don’t see them in the poor visibility. 42 59n 168 16 e. The deviation to the SE plus the weather pattern is likely to keep us too far S to get to Dutch Harbor.
