L'Orca is North of Gray's Harbor
L'Orca is currently north of Gray's Harbor, but still south of Destruction Island, carefully dodging crab pots, nets and fishing boats.
They report that the winds have calmed a bit to about 8 to 10 knots after getting 18-25 knots through the night. Winds are now blowing out of the NW, after being northerly all night.
