OK enough fretting over Simon's whereabouts! There's no EPIRB signal; so let's assume he's having the time of his life! S/V Pura Vida is TX/RX on the SSB to contact him @ 9pm PDT. When we hear from him it will be via them or Sailmail.
Here are some more pictures of Simon setting off on Sat:
I gotta hand it to ya on the photo's! Really nice. It's hard to keep a level horizon in pictures. A lot of people don't care or notice the horizon when taking pictures and end up with slanted hard to enjoy pictures. These are really good!
Photoshop works wonders at fixing that Just rotate and then crop the angled edges off. But yes most of these were good to begin with; Maureen has a "good eye" for pictures!

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Who's fretting...not me....Just wondering if anyone was talking to him..
Shoot if he gets sick he wont feel like talking to any one or want anyone bugging him any way...I sure wouldn't..
I just received this email post from Simon within the last hour...
well its taken a while to put this together,large seas and good wind I have had two reefs in the main since leaving SF and a shortened headsail. lots of stuff from the starboard side are on he port side floor, they look happy there.
POSITION: N 33,27.94 W 126,24.39 time 4pm Pacific time.

Hey Greg thanks for the update. Sounds like everything is A-OK with him. Glad to also hear that the headsail's been taken in some, as well as those reefs put in. I expected the port and starboard sides to exchange occupants. I am just real excited for him! Alright back to work for me!
