Well, Skip is sailing a weird course. It's beginning to look like the
diagram of a complex math problem....

If the weather is nice maybe he's just gone out for a day sail... In
any case given Skip's propensity for reporting we're unlikely to be
left guessing for long

It now looks like he is headed over towards Greenport or Dering
Harbor. Greenport would be an interesting stop for them. Nice place to
walk around.

I'm sure we'll get a F- U - L- L report. G


.... I just checked and the new position shows him entering Sterling
Basin, which is next to Greenport. I hope he hasn't mistaken Greenport
Dock Marine for the Greeport Town Dock, which I mentioned to him.
Greenport Dock Marine builds docks. The Town Dock is way over on the
other side of Greenport from Sterling Basin.

There aren't any "inexpensive" options in Sterling Basin.

I'll hold off hitting send on this post for a few minutes to see if
the track updates again.

3:03 PM - He's headed back out of Sterling.

Round and round and round he goes... where he stops, nobody knows!

Kind of fun these SPOT's, are they not?

I was kind of surprised to return from my last cruise and not find any
comments about my track although friends and family enjoyed being able to
follow along immensely.

I sent an OK just after anchoring each night to fix the position and then
shut the unit down until morning, turning it on again just before leaving.
Skip often seems to leave his on all night. They are pretty good on
batteries. Mine's still on the first set I put in just after I bought it.
