REVISION: Last ping from Jim’s smartphone
Apparently there has been confusion about the last time Jim’s smartphone checked in. There is now good reason to believe that the timestamps being used are GMT, not PST. Hence it’s likely that
The last time Jim’s smartphone checked in was 11:50 AM, not 7:50 PM.
This is consistent with Jim sailing out of range outbound to the Farallons.
Prior to that, Jim’s smartphone had been checking in every 20 minutes starting at 5:08 AM.
I know everybody is doing their all to get info out, and sometimes it needs to be revised. Let’s make sure the corrections get posted just as quickly as people find them out.
Thanks to all for their goodwill and honest efforts under fire.

That is very useful information. We did have a visual sighting near the Farallons by one of the NOAA researches assigened out there. If something catastrophic did happen, given this new information, it would still place him in our prime search area although the drift would need to be recalculated.
