Kinda Snotty

This 28' Newport lost its transmission at Stuart Island. Through a miscommunication of GPS coordinates it took an extra hour to locate them. The lat/long on their hand held (which I saw) showed them on the other side of the island. Just wondering which Datum they were using?

We're make way (slowly) to Friday Harbor in a 3' chop.

Hi Richard,
Sorry to see you're having to buck into such lousy squall today. It's really amazing how our weather can change so dramatically in a few hours like this. We were at Prevost Hbr on Stuart Friday nite, left yday and went around Waldron, the Ditch and back to Orcas landing and it was perfect warm and calm all day. This storm suddenly blew in last evening with rain at 2130 and this morning at Rosario was cold and windy - Kenmore Air had a hard time landing as it was so rough at noon. A total flip from only 15 hours earlier.
