July 14, Who turned off the heat?!?!

July 14, 1900 hrs. Position N 43.55 / W 150.27 117 nautical miles the last 24 hrs.
Holy cow! Somebody forgot to pay the heating bill!! Yesterday I was lounging in the cockpit in nothing but a pair of shorts all day long. Today it's sweats and a fleece. Wow what a difference. Brrr.
Bob woke me at 0700 this morning for a whale sighting. We had a whale who came to check out the boat I guess. It was swimming right next to us about 5 feet away. It stuck around for a minute then slowly swam off at an angle. It was a nice way to start the morning. Today we had NO repairs! (knock wood). :) The wind has been pretty good and we have been on a beam reach all day holding over 6 knts. Making good progress today, we are approaching W 150 deg and our first time zone change. We'll move the clocks forward in the morning. We hope to start making more of an easterly direction in the next day or so and start seeing those miles click off. So far most of our effort has been to get north and we have more than doubled our latitude since we left Honolulu. We can tell the difference, it is cooler and it gets light earlier and stays light later into the day.
Bob just called me up to the cockpit. We had a car tire, complete with rim, floating by. I would guess from the tsunami on that one. We have had very little debris today but this one was worth looking at. That's about it for today, we're happy we are moving and are trying to study where the high will be so we can set our course hopefully over the top of it.
