June 16 Update from Dave Pinel, of West Coast Expeditions, Spring Island

Hi All,
Here is an update from David Pinel from West Coast Expeditions:
"Dave Pinel here from West Coast Expeditions on Spring Island in Kyuquot. Jerome arrived at our camp area last night, tuckered, but getting into the rhythm of these long days. His first 2 days were essentially against wind and current, so earned every mile. Yesterday he had a very slight push, and safe waters around the Brooks Peninsula. He had a good recovery rest last night and paddled off mid-morning in good spirits. He wanted me to pass on that the Spot Device has had some slight salt water intrusion to the battery area and corrosion which he's cleaned out...but wasn't sure how deep the damage was - hopefully only the battery area ...which he can maintain. If the Spot Device acts up or dies, he has the VHF to at least get a call out in an emergency."

Thank you David
Sam
