I clicked on my original and brought up their current path. Nope. Just a blank page with SPOT logo. The SPOT site isn't very helpful. Looks to me like Skippy might be giving up and heading to port. Position 48, 49, and 50 shows a turn toward Cape Charles. But, he can't make it before nightfall so I hope he's familiar with the entrance to Chesapeake Bay. Perhaps he's shooting for a morning arrival. Wilbur Hubbard Looks to me like they've been close-hauled in a southerly breeze, got headed about 1 PM, tacked about 3 across a foul current, tacking back about 7 on a course that'll let them skim the Outer Banks or get a better line on the Bay. That 4-hour backtracking leg surprises me, but might have gotten them out of the current as their tack at 7 gave them a better than 90 degree leg -- and FP isn't that close-winded. The near-shore forecast at the moment http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS51.KAKQ.html is showing S winds going NE late with lingering SE swells, which supports at least part of what I surmised. I don't know what has happened, suddenly my spot page will not load properly, no map, just a list of points and I can't get them to give me position. Would you mind posting the URL again using tinyurl.com? Cheers Marty |
