USCG HEALTH & WELFARE VESSEL WINDWEAVER
MY NAME IS LT RICH SULLIVAN, I AM WITH THE US COAST GUARD - JOINT RESCUE COORDINATION CENTER OUT OF HONOLULU,
HAWAII AND WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A CASE FOR A POTENTIAL OVERDUE SAILING VESSEL THAT DEPARTED FROM HILO,
HAWAII ON 10MAY2018 ENROUTE TO HIVA OA, MARQUESAS. THE VESSEL IS A 29 FOOT, MONOHULL, WITH 2 POB.
NAME OF VESSEL IS WINDWEAVER. WHITE HULL, NAVY BLUE TRIM.
THE CAPTAIN ESTIMATED HE WOULD ARRIVE BY 29MAY18 AND TOLD HIS POINT OF CONTACT TO NOTIFY THE USCG IF SHE
DID NOT HEAR FROM HIM BY THEN. THEY DO NOT HAVE A SAT PHONE ON BOARD. THEY DO HAVE AN EPIRB ON BOARD.
SINCE THIS FORUM IS FILLED WITH SEASONED AND EXPERIENCED SAILORS OF THE PACIFIC,
WE'RE REACHING OUT TO THE EXPERTS FOR YOUR INPUT:
- IF YOU HAVE MADE THIS VOYAGE BEFORE, HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU?
- DO YOU KNOW OF ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS MADE THIS TRIP AND HOW LONG DID IT TAKE THEM?
- IS THERE A SET ROUTE THAT SAILORS USUALLY TAKE WHEN MAKING THIS VOYAGE?
- DO SAILORS GENERALLY STOP IN KIRIBATI/CHRISTMAS ISLAND, AS A MIDWAY POINT?
OR DO THEY TEND TO HEAD DIRECTLY SOUTHEAST FOR THE MOST DIRECT APPROACH?
- WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF ANY COMMON DEADWIND AREAS IN THE "DOLDRUMS" OR TROPICAL CONVERSION ZONE?
(HOW MANY DAYS WOULD IT DELAY YOU, WHAT DIRECTION WOULD YOU DRIFT?)
WINDWEAVER DID NOT COMPLETE HIS OFFICIAL REGISTRATION FOR THE LATITUDE 38 SPONSORED RACE,
BUT IS BELIEVED TO TAKING PART IN THE HAWAII TO MARQUESAS TRIP AS IF THEY WERE PARTICIPATING. IF YOU
HAVE ANY POINTS OF CONTACT OR OTHER MEANS OF COMMUNICATIONS WITH ANY OTHER SAILORS PARTICIPATING IN THIS TRIP/RACE,
PLEASE FORWARD THE INFORMATION ON, AND IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD THAT THE USCG IN HONOLULU
IS TRYING TO ESTABLISH COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE 29 FT SAILING VESSEL WINDWEAVER.
IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE DIRECT ALL RESPONSES DIRECTLY TO JRCCHONOLULU@USCG.MIL AND CC ME AT RICHSULLIVANJR@GMAIL.COM
SO THAT I CAN ENSURE THE INFORMATION IS SHARED WITH OUR 24/7 WATCHFLOOR HERE IN HONOLULU.
IF YOU'D PREFER TO CALL IN, OUR PHONE NUMBER IS 808-535-3333.
ANY FEEDBACK REGARDING THIS VESSEL OR THIS VOYAGE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALOHA AND MAHALO.
