Thanks for forwarding this to the GASP list, Thomas.  I'm copying
PaddleWise also.  I think there are those there who would be very
interested in following Hebert's progress, also.

For those that aren't aware, Hebert is paddling 675 miles from 
Yukatan to Louisiana.  He left Yukatan 14 days ago (May 26) and was
spotted about 4 hours ago 128 miles SE of Louisiana.  Heberts goal 
is to bring about public awareness of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

btw, water surface temps were at 95.9 F at Hebert's last check-in.  
Love those warm Gulf waters :-)

Check out the site.  There is a map marking Hebert's route and progress
with direction of current in the Gulf.

Jackie
