I thought of the Slocum option as well, but rejected it because the instrument usually used to calculate the distance of the moon from another heavenly body for a "lunar" sight is a Sextant, often...

Talk about structural problems... not much one can do when;

Get in get in touch with Laura Munoz at YRA, info@yra.org, 415-771-9500 (M-Th 0930-1530, F 0930-1230).
The only Sunfast in the database is a 3600 (INVICTUS) at 30 sec/mi.

As has been suggested as a remedy elsewhere in the thread.
This seems to me to be a reasonable approach.

Looks like PJ is off the cliff house, on track to make it in the gate near the top of the ebb (~noon).

I'd recommend starting and sticking with an AIS equipped VHF (pick your make/model).
The rest of my system is about wanting to be seen (the transceiver), and the convenience of having the targets...

Hi Tom,
Glad it works so well!
I am basically running the same system, with mostly the same components, that I had on DOMINO.
The VHF/AIS set up consists of the masthead 15" Shakespeare antenna,...

I actually have a soft bucket, though I didn't bring it this trip. It would have at least served as a backup for bailing.

Colder than in the bay & city last week(end), that's for sure.
Air temps in the high 50's at night, mid 60's during the day.
