This ride is over.

The app failed spectacularly on this trip. But I now finally have some hints as to what's going on. I still don't know how to reproduce the weird straight lines reliably, but I will add some more debugging info. 

REMINDER: get an IR FLIR thermal image camera to check wiring

REMINDER: Boeing T9 corrosion restance

Sadly the app on the Pixel 6 has run into some issue that’s now preventing it from running. I’m guessing and iut of memory error. Brilliantly I just realized I should switch to one of the other devices and continue.

We got away from the dock at 11:30 and are heading to Osprey Marina near Myrtle Beach where Terry unfortunately has to catch a flight home because he has commitments. It’s sad because we really only got to sail the boat for a short while.

Yermo has pulled the sidestand up and is underway.

arrived about 15 minutes ago. No drama. No issue. There were some crazy skinny spots but Aquamapnmade it a piece of cake.

dolphin!

8:22 fueled and leaving

approx 1.11 gal/he

Fuel stop: 32.3 gallons

Up and into action at 07:30.

Precious few photos from today because the Pixel was dead for much of it.

We went out to confirm what OredictWind was telling us and as predicted we've had 20+ kts on the nose towards our destination.

So it was decided to motor up the ditch.bI didn't realize how much I had learned from my time with Wayne. The channel markers are different and since I've done it before I was able to direct us to avoid all kinds of issues. The Bob423 tracks and coast guard depth surveys in AquaMaps make all the difference.

Of course I forgot to switch vehicles.

Too lumpy and the wind is coming exactly where we want to go.

We hit a huge wake wave and suddenly an alarm went off. It took a while to figure out that it was a high water alarm.

Then when we tightened the mainsheet and it hit the bimini. It took a bit to raise the boom.
