I slid GANNET into her ship at 1100 AM this morning after eight days at sea. Three out. Five back. I will write about that in the next day or two, but I am now very tired. I had about two hours sleep last night.
Since reconnecting with the world I have seen many of your comments about the Yellowbrick track not appearing. While out there I do not see comments and did no know they were not being received.
I had the Yellowbrick configured to send updates every six hours, but I had forgotten that to show positions one must have in addition to the Yellowbrick itself, credits and line rental. One buys credits in bulk. They are inexpensive. I have over a thousand in my account. Each sent position update costs one credit. But one also needs to pay for what is called line rental. One can do this by the year or the month. When I was circumnavigating, I paid by the year and forgot about it. But now I only pay for line rental when I am going to sail offshore and in this case I forgot. I regret this and I apologize.
Of the sail, three days out until the wind headed me and I turned back. Five days back. One day of thunderstorms. One windless. And the last thirty-six hours sailing joy.

Just glad you’re safe and all is well. Look forward to reading about your sail.
Webb, Very happy for you to have those 36 hours of sailing joy and look forward to the details when you are rested. AS TR once said: The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause;
Thank you, Rob. I am fortunate in those who read my words and follow my sails.
