trade ‘Scream’ in on a ‘cat’, or add some outrigger(s), that will smoothen the ride a lot for the next parts of your trip!!!

how is your fog horn, or your megaphone? And flashing red bicycle tail lights?

glad you are well !!

following your tracker it looked like a dream, day by day great progress, then just off shore nothing for weeks, except the posting of the waves playing with you like a toy…

so you need some better lights yourselves so that those without can see you better, plus good search lights and Petzl head worn lights. and maritime night vision binoculars. and infra red detectors. what about your radar?

my green astronomy laser is fabulous except when it gets cold, then nothing, and that at barely sub zero, but that should not be a problem on your boat and ocean. red lasers would do as well. not to shine into eyes or others’ binoculars, but just to let them know you are there.

sure nice to know you and your boat are well.

thanks
