Mar 1 — No Robinson Crusoe Island this one...

Jacob is approaching Tamana Island, which has about 1,000 residents. I would guess he is not stopping, but is well within sight of it now.

On GE you can zoom in to see the details.

Here is a 1984 thesis on the island and its people and culture at this link on the bottom of the page.

(direct link does not seem to work. let me know if you cannot get it.)

back with weather and sea report tomorrow when we will know if he stopped or not.  The coral surrounding this island could be pretty rough on the boat, so it would be a certain risk.
