I assume he didn't sell the pole though, he probably wouldn't want to give up the foredeck seat.

I don't know about the rest of you - but for me - destination is Pango Pango.
Looks - and sounds - wrong now without a twangy "ang" in the middle.
Ohey - off to Pango Pango we go.

He's picking up speed. In the last day he has averaged a blinding 1.7 knots compared to his normal 1.35 knots.
It takes real skill to go 1.35 knots in 8 knots of wind and only 1.7 knots in 20 knots of wind.

This is the central issue for me. All kidding aside, as I began learning how to sail my SJ24 around the bay last summer, the first thing, for me, was to figure out how to slow down. I saw the photo of his lazy sheet cleated tight. I can't believe it, but it really does seem like he is either hove to and slipping sideways all the way across the ocean, or perhaps he just lets loose of the sheets and the sails luff madly whenever the wind picks up. Bare poles above 10 knots?

I was a bit perplexed as well - but I had a mussel/barnacle farm sprout up under my boat in a couple of weeks one summer and I am pretty certain I didn't hit over 2-3 knots under full power. Just a guess since the knotmeter wasn't working - fouled for obvious reasons.

the thing is, his speed has always been that slow. always. And he left with a clean bottom.
I like the theory that his lost dingy is a drogue that he doesn't know he is towing. But the reality is probably much less fun-- he cleats off backwinded sails, hasn't touched the main sheet since one of his enablers pulled it tight for the tow out of the SF Bay. Gets scared of the "bing bang on my all the time" and hides in the cabin, etc.

His last check-in posted an average speed of 2.65 mph over two and a half hours. Buckle in, that's nearly walking speed!

Someone on Facebook said he found the batteries under the engine.

...that's pointing to the thought that Rimas has shifted to using private communications.
...he always received these from the 3 primaries,,,but earlier on,Shannon said that the only communications Rimas sends out are what we all see...this clearly has changed if Rimas sent a message of finding batteries,which wasn't public,but was relayed via his facebook feind :mellow:
