We received the device when we returned from our trip to Denver/Dallas and are setting it up to include: SOS, HELP, OK, TYPE/SEND, SPOT ASSIST...

Sailing Sailing...

Sailing Sailing... So sailors know this, Sailing is hard work...  We left Bodega Bay at 5:30AM with hopes of making a anchorage at Fish Rock / Havens South of Point Arena by evening, we got there and chickened out on anchoring...  It was rough heading in and the rocks were closer than out comfort level... It was about 7:30PM light was fadeing so we decided to continue on to Noyo overnight. We motor sailed all night and anchored at the entrance to Noyo River (Ft. Bragg, CA) We had some beautiful sailing weather until early afternoon when it kicked up prety good, 25+ knot winds and seas that had the bow scooping under the waves at times...  Mostly we could sail at 45 deg to the wave direction, but there are those times you go right at em and the darn things are not spaced so nicely...   Jess thinks we had 10-12 foot, 8 second seas from a one to two points West of North...

So... Thursday 29th I cut the top piece and cut the bow pocket pieces and cut some strips for the skirts that go between the bow zipper pocket pieces and the top.  Edged the zipper pockets added zippers and sewed them to the skirt pieces, sewed the forward edge complete.  Added vinyl to the starboard and port edges and at the zipper pocket ends for reinforcement.  Added elk hide reinforcement at the brace bracket areas. 3/30/2012 - Friday, I cut and sewed the aft zipper pockets, added zippers.  Sewed the pocket pieces to the skirt and sewed the pocket/skirt assembly to the top. ...
