Holokiki started Qualifier

[Submarino]

Rusty Roy has started his qualifier aboard his Moore 24 "Holokiki." I received a ping at 1700 hrs near the Golden Gate. He was in good spirits at RYC this afternoon. The conditions will give "Holokiki" a proper shakedown. Rusty reported that he will be doing the Long Pac course.

Cool! Is his track visible?

I don't believe he made his track public, but I will post images as I get updates like this one. He seems to be pinging every 2 hrs.



At 1900 hrs he had progressed 1/3 toward the Farallones from the Golden Gate, but at 2100 hrs he dropped Southeast a tad and is now recorded to be:
Course: ENE at 6.7 kts
N 37 degrees, 44' 58"
W 122 degrees, 37'15".

Closest Buoy 46026 report located 18 Nmiles west of GG: NW wind 15-20 knots, Wave heights about 10 feet every 10 seconds, mixed NW and SW swell.

Is he back home then? What happened?

Rusty texted that All is well and that he will be going again with a different plan.
