CREW LIST

​We plan to depart from Noumea, New Calendonia on 23 October 2024 (22 October 2024 in the US) and sail southwest directly to Coffs Harbour, Australia. We expect to arrive at Coffs Harbour 30 October 2024 (29 October in the US) by nightfall. NB: we have crossed the International Dateline, hence the clarification on the dates in the US. It is one day ahead here.

IF WE DON’T ARRIVE BY 31 October 2024 (30 October in the US): Everything is probably fine. A weather change may have prompted us to slow down, or hole up and wait for better conditions. We’ll provide news of changes stops if possible, and of our safe arrival. However, if we are overdue for arrival, please do the following: Check out our position. We may just still be on the way. We have a custom tracking site through our PredictWind service using our Inreach. This is updated at least hourly, automatically, from the Inreach and includes our speed at the time as well as short blog posts. You may need to zoom out of the map to see more exactly where we are relative to land masses. https://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/sv_callalily or https://share.garmin.com/svcallalily

Attempt to contact us:

• Send us a message on WhatsApp +1-520-977-5884 or +1-520-955-1615
• Click on "Message" at https://share.garmin.com/svcallalily and send us a message

If we are overdue, something is weird about our position, you can’t reach us or the boats with us, have no other info about our arrival or safe location underway through our destination or local vessel contacts, or are otherwise deeply concerned we are at serious risk: then it’s time to contact the US Coast Guard Fourteenth District Command Center Number: +1-808-535-3333.

IF YOU RECEIVE A CALL BECAUSE OUR EPIRB WAS TRIGGERED

The EPIRB is our emergency distress beacon on board. It may be triggered automatically or manually. Either of these triggers could be deliberate, or accidental. Try to think happy thoughts because EPIRB alerts are almost always false alarms. You are an emergency contact in our EPIRB registration. The USCG / RCC may contact you. Let them now you have a float plan: that’s this document. Other information to share: Provide the same contact details for nearby vessel(s) etc. per above to the agency. Confirm with agency the details of our boat, communication and safety equipment on board.
