Coby reported traveling over 100 miles yesterday, despite light winds. Ideally he would have used the spinnaker -- the big balloon sail that is employed in front -- but he said health and safety called other tasks than ideal sails. After all, this is not a race, but one sailor dependent on his boat and himself. Fortunately, Snookums is good at "ghosting" -- getting travel out of just a whisper of a wind.
He reported 36 46.3 N, 136 51.6 W - but this shows some-
what to the east of his last position -- though south also.
So unless he is skirting traffic or a storm, I think my
slightly dyslexic self wrote down some coordinates incor-
rectly. Will check as soon as we have text capability again.
The picture is of the spinnaker, taken on a sail before his
journey began. Unlike most of his other sails, it is white.
