Bill’s SPOT is still not tracking him.  The last communication I received was at 12:23pm and was a Check in/OK.  I believe the SPOT was not activated for tracking but at least we know he is moving at this point and can see where he is every four hours.

I would like to take this time to give a huge shout out to our dear friend Bob Howard.  Bob and his wife Sonia are our neighbors and Bob got sucked into the Bill Whale kayaking vortex a couple of races ago.  He followed and charted Bill last year and would tell me where he thought Bill was going to camp, and what time he should be pulling in to the checkpoints and did this with incredible accuracy.  (Bill is not making that so easy this year, huh Bob?)  His knowledge of familiarity of the waters Bill is traveling in is just priceless and we are blessed and fortunate to have him and Sonia in our lives.  THANKS!!!

Until the next time…
