@sailing_songbird: Day 21 no gps— a message from Tom Becalmed —————— You aren’t there, nor then. You’re here, now. Becalmed. So be calmed, Be still, Wind will come. Catch it You will leave this place. But you shall be here, now. This voyage is endless. Nothing changes that. Not even Christmas at Kosrae. Even there, then, You shall be here, now. Get comfortable with discomfort. Be calm. Be still. Wind will come. Catch it. Three weeks in and many miles to go. The wind is a fickle master. When it blows, we fly a little. When it slows, we die a little. It’s like Songbird is in a pinball game in which the squalls batter us and then leave us to drift. Having some connection to the outside world is both a blessing and a curse. Kind words from strangers and family are mixed with bad news. I wrote this piece to give myself - and hopefully you - a little peace. If you feel stagnant and becalmed in life, take heart. Wind will come. —Tom

I thought most modern ocean vessels, including sailboats, were built with GPS pre-wired and installed into them
