Hey srfpunk138, did you hear them?
14347
1604utc
Hawaii and Vancouver? were on again. VA7BGK? and VA7HJG? not sure about their call signs.
The noise with my skyloop was too loud for Vancouver so I went ran to my vertical magic wand in the back yard and then I could hear them both great.
Hawaii is now 60mi from the islands and there is no wind. The sun rose for him 10min prior. He sees no other boats, just birds. Vancouver recommended he calibrate his digital barometer.
HAwaii doesn't think he'll make it by tonight. they plan to talk again tonight prob. around 0400utc like last night.
I just remembered last night Hawaii was talking of using a sextant with stars. I wonder if its his main form of navigating because today he said he looks forward to looking out the window and seeing islands so he knows he's in the right place and not somewhere in the middle of the ocean.
