Hey Skip, Thx for keeping a lookout for us on Envolee. I wish you had a better connection with the wind gods to put in a request for us; we might have made it to the finish line without jeopardy of harvesting the seaweed caught on our rudders as a food source. For your enjoyment I've attached a couple of photos.
