We had some fuel issues that changed our plans today. We decided to pull into Coos Bay to fuel up. Motoring there now and should arrive around 11pm.

Fuel issue–no winds 55 miles off so we’ve been motoring all day. Around mid-day the engine started sputtering and a quick inspection showed the port side tank nearly empty and a clogged Racor diesel filter.  I changed a valve position that corrected the problem and now both tanks are even again. We decided to pull in as a precaution, so nothing critical. We will fuel up in the morning and get back on track.

Other–had some dolphins swimming in our wake  http://youtu.be/Qkz_Fhi4Lcc.  Chef Risto is cooking up another fabulous dinner using the remaining tuna (they wouldn’t let me fish today!).
