Off the edge of the earth, or so it seems…

Flying Fish continues onward into the Torres Strait and then to SE Asia. WiFi and cell signals are rare to non-existent (now being an exception).

If you are following the passage of Flying Fish, I have set up a new satellite link—Passage Post Notes—at https://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/Flyingfish. These notes are only a line or two from the daily log of Flying Fish but they show where I am, the current weather, they give a sense of the passage–and I can post without WiFi or cell.

I will continue to upload full-length posts here at FlyingFishSail.com when / if I have the bandwidth. Unfortunately, I cannot respond to your comments via satellite. Sailing singlehanded, I value communication with readers (it’s so much better than talking to myself). For now, however, the post notes are the best I can do.

Thanks for sailing with me as I navigate through this amazing world.

  6. Jeffrey … It’s Amy. I have been following you with great interest and admiration since day one. Steve and I discuss your epic journey every time we talk. I have reread your books since you began the voyage. I am sorry I have not written prior. When it comes to social media, I am more of a voyeur … but will make an exception for you. I retired after 28 years with Patagonia and am now living in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. We kept a cabin in the south Puget Sound, so divide our time. Our sons live in New Orleans which means we are also there a fair amount. Retirement has it’s pluses, but I do miss working. I had a great job. Travel and meeting amazing people. Keep the posts coming. The new link is really cool. Be well. A
