00z Jun 7—Jacob underway from Flynn Reef to Mission Bay

Background: Notes here on our Google Earth tracking of Jacob Adoram         Index of Google Earth overlays.  Download the KLM file.

Just got word from Jacob that he is getting underway shortly. We can watch him on Google earth; download the KML file above and drag to Google Earth.

This is likely the most exciting leg of the entire year-long voyage.... this last 20 nmi getting across the Great Barrier Reef!


* * * NOTE: our GE positions are 3-hr averages, so we will not get a good track until 3 hr after he leaves. At 00z he said "in a few hours,"  maybe 9z or so we might see the track.
