Day One at sea

The Tiki J has been out to sea for about twenty-one and a half hours, and I've just received my daughter's first email text for posting to her website. She can email by way of "sail mail" and could, technically, send it directly to her blog (rather than through an intermediary), but a lot of "footer" information is added, which I strip off for her.
    Her note reported their being in a "trough" (very little wind), and this seems to be borne out by the latest available GPS information (I'm referring to the indicated speed):
# Tiki J
Class: Division B
Miles to Finish: 2003.1nm
Latitude: N 37°51.637'
Longitude: W 123°55.968'
Speed: 1.0 KTS
CoG(t) 291° W
Boat: J/42
LOA: ft
Time Reported: Jul 07 8:00:00 AM EDT
    To check Tiki J's positions yourself, go to ionearth.com and click on Division B, then click the "Trails" box in Tiki J's line.
