As of Thursday evening at 9:00 local west coast time, Simon was located at 26° 40' N, 129° 30' W. Winds are about 15 knots and he is averaging around 6 knots boat speed. He is heading between S and SSE.
The seas are not particularly big, but they are coming from awkward and confused directions, so sometimes they slap him around a bit more than he wished was the case. He's definitely not complaining, just reporting.
The
radio contact was a bit sketchy this evening, so we kept it pretty short. Conditions had been overcast all day, but the the towing generator was keeping all systems fully charged up. He was getting ready to lay back and watch a movie this evening. The plan for tomorrow is to pull the prop out of the water and finally try some fishing.
