That's pretty cool. I checked on your progress last night.
How come you were going in circles?

LOL!! I was wondering the same thing when I checked.

It's going to be interesting to watch that SPOT device tracking - I'm
wondering how good it is compared to APRS which Wayne used before.

I might consider getting one of those if it works well.

It's much easier from the other side of Florida, isn't it?

Cool, it looks like he's making good progress. Since the winds in the area
are light and variable he must be motoring just like Skippy always does.

It looks like he's coming my way. It will be interesting to see if he takes
the Yacht Channel and proceeds out into Hawk Channel and the Straits of
Florida via the Channel Five bridge or if he heads up the Intracoastal
Waterway to Miami before jumping off to the Bahamas. This time of year, with
thunderstorms popping up everywhere most every morning and afternoon he'd
probably be better off motoring up the Intracoastal and waiting in Miami for
some rare, steady winds for the crossing.

But, if he's like Skippy he'll wait until a flat calm day and motor across
with sails flapping for show.

Sailing?? ~~ Snerk ~~
Wayne gave up being a sailor years ago. Now he sits in his comfy seat at
the helm of a trawler type cruiser...... doesn't even get his hair mussed,
no mater what the conditions.

Yah right! Tell that to Joe Butcher (Red Cloud) who used to type the same
nonsense about the imagined virtues of a pilot house!
