FPB 78-1 Cochise Halfway To Fiji: Posted by Sarah

latlon

This afternoon’s latitude/longitude ping from Cochise‘s Iridium shows the crew well along the route to Fiji.

Reports from on board attest, “Beautiful sky, albatross photo yesterday, lasagna for dinner with yummy sourdough roll and Waldorf salad. Breeze has backed to SE and bar dropping slightly so we are on top of high center. Handholds, manlines, staple rail working very well. Back into rhythm of being at sea.”

Current ETA has FPB 78-1 entering Navula Pass at first light on Sunday morning across the dateline.

    Why did you select “COCHISE” as the name? As far as I know, he was a Native American APACHE Chief and nowhere near any Marine environment.

    Enjoy the tropics

    Hi Sig
    Cochise was a very smart, tough Apache war chief whose history we have long admired. The idea came to the two of us separately over a drive last winter.
