First I should add a link to yesterdays post at Sutherland Bay with the bears. For some reason facebook blocked that post and didn’t allow me to post it to my own facebook feed. https://shipslog.stedman.us/2024/08/day-20-southerland-bay-and-bears/ Day 21 on this adventure.

Starting out the trip we had the router plugged in in the master stateroom, the internet speeds were a bit slow, so I moved it to the dashboard in the pilothouse, almost directly
