Imminent collision !?!?!

Niu Device:
Niu Hae Akala
Latitude:
0.467
Longitude:
174.053 Hunter and Nicole from the Project Niu team are currently in Tarawa, a small atoll that is part of the nation of Kiribati. As you may know, they're there to meet Roz Savage, who deployed Niu Hae Akala on the equator a few weeks ago. Since then, Niu Hae Akala has header due west and is now only 10 miles from landing on Abemema Atoll.
Back here in Hawaii, we're monitoring this situation closely. We just sent this message to Hunter and Nicole, hoping they'll get it in time, or that Niu Hae Akala will avoid landfall.
To Hunter and Nicole...
You guys might need to plan another boating trip soon. Niu Hae Akala is headed **DIRECTLY** for that atoll that Roz nearly hit last night.
It's 10 miles away as of a few minutes ago, and is approaching at 1.3 miles per hour "steering" a perfectly straight course of 264 degrees.
The drama begins as an expensive computer floats to a (hopefully) uninhabited atoll...

Monday PM (Sunday PM my side
Monday PM (Sunday PM my side of IDL), "Pink Savage" seems to be trying to find its namesake! Will it cross the channel without oars or steerage, and find Roz? Let's keep watching and find out! This is so cool -- fun even for us big kids! -- Janis
Even cooler the coconut
Even cooler the coconut swerved around Abemama ... thank Neptune for little favors ;-D
Very cool that Roz caught up
Very cool that Roz caught up with and passed the coconut after waltzing along the equator for a day. UncaDoug
