Position Reports

You may have noticed that we've added the ability for you to check our current position and follow our track over the past 30 days.  This functionality is courtesy of Pangolin, a group of sailing enthusiasts from New Zealand and is called Youtreps.  There are two separate links in the right hand column of the blog that you can click on to see where we are and where we've been.  Check it out to see how it works.  Right now, our current position is here in Seattle and our track shows us going from Mongolia to Seattle.  No, we did not go to Mongolia.  I made an error entering the data and put the longitude as East instead of West on my first entry.  I'll try not to do that again.

Once underway, we will use the Youtreps system to make regular position reports.  Because Youtreps automatically rounds the lat and long entries, our actual position may be slightly off.  In fact, it's possible that it may even show us on land or some other unlikely spot.  Rest assured that we will be reasonably close to that location, I'd guess within a few hundred yards or so.
