Farewell Alaska!
We are excited to see the world yet sad to leave Alaska, the great land! Summer 2013 went down in the record books as one of the warmest, finest ever.

Leg 1: Craig Alaska to San Francisco!
S/V PRIVATEER sailed under the Golden Gate on September 17, 2013 under heavy gale conditions, 40-50 knots! We have successfully completed our first World Voyage leg! Craig Alaska to San Francisco, 1,200 Nautical Miles on the great circle route. The passage took only 9 days and 9 hours!
Here are a few pics from our first voyage leg!
Si comes prepared with his Cowichan sweater
Loving the new arch, bench, and monitor self-steering
Si is in his element
Privateer doing what she does best
Si is on hands-free watch
This is why we sail...
Eat our wake California!
Kelsey loves the CA sun--we're not in AK anymore...
Rounding Cape Mendocino 35 miles out to sea
Winds and seas freshen up as we make our final approach
Heaping seas off Pt. Reyes. 40-50 knots!
Hauling ass toward the Golden Gate
Smooth seas as we pass under the bridge!
First mate, heavily salted
Sea worn, relieved, and exilirated!
