Via Inmarsat:

After 23+ days of sailing we are finally west of LA (and 2510 nn south.)
Just as how many new Caribbean sailors are surprised to find the Islands
well East of the U.S. mainland we did not appreciate how far east is the
exit from the Panama Canal.

it is actually raining rather than the normal light drizzle. This is the
first time in months that I have put on foulies. They are quite warm in
this climate.

Unlike the Atlantic and Caribbean so far the rain has not been accompaned
by strong winds. The waves do increase giving a bumpy ride.

Right now I am dealing with the wind shifts rain always brings.

Fair winds and following seas :)
