    Every ten minutes is a lot of pings - maybe the battery was Good until it wasn't.

    Just noticed that as well and was wondering what's up? They ping states "battery state: Good".

    When Jackie commented on no ping in several hours, his last ping had been at 6:50 PM yesterday. Since then he pinged again: just before midnight last night. It was a "Check" message, as was the last one, rather than a "Track" message -- as all the 10 minute interval pings had been. My guess is he turned off the automatic 10 minute pinging, and is periodically hitting the manual check in.

    Best of all, he's still making progress in the right direction!

    Winds looking very slow from LS to Bonita. His course has a bit of south in it, wonder if it isn't just drift to the south ?

    I will try calling him on the long range VHF.

    looks like he'll be regretting that lack of "alternative propulsion" about now.
    He's been sitting at Bonita for the past hour or so.
    now beginning to go backwards in the building ebb.
