With this kind of a North Pacific wind "pattern." I guess this is what happens if one is too late in the season. What a mess.

My buddy (https://www.instagram.com/sonofaboat/) just made it back last week on his Westsail 32... I feel sort of bad for him, returning to thick smoke haze and sad faces. What a year.
