Thanks for the update...

Of course, if he had a real Pacific-type boat, like a catamaran or trimaran, he wouldn't be moving stuff from one side to the other.

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.

you're right, because he'd be safely tied up to a dock somewhere enjoying a cocktail with his business associates.

KeelHaulin will become famous soon enough
He would have pitchpoled a cat or tri by now

Great to get that e-mail; looks like he is clear of the majority of the wind/waves. His plan was to sail due south along 125W until he gets past the doldroms, then head further west to the Marquesas.

Second reef set and reduced headsail sounds like he had a wild ride out there; considering that he sailed out of SF Bay without any reefing aside from pinching up into the wind a bit.

The chocky bars went flying; and are scattered about the floor I bet!!

Dog,

Simon is a big boy, he doesn't need training wheels.
