I lost a phone at Cape Mendocino and more than a year later while launching, Matt Mayes finds it

I lost a kage off the cape and Matt Mayes found it. 

Sounds like a gift.

No, unfortunately I didn't get more updates from it.  I'm not sure if 1) it ran out of battery, 2) was swept out of the range of the cell towers, 3) eaten by a shark that saw a blinking, buzzing phone in the middle of the night floating on the surface.

I hope it finds its way back to you. That would make a great ending to this story.

Should be near Tomales at least by now... If someone sees the bag, there is a good chance of them grabbing it.  Good luck!

The tracking map is kinda cool, following the wind and currents.

Minor update: looks like Sunday the wind started changing direction.  For some reason it was able to get GPS later and it says it last saw it 3 days ago North of Doran Park.  I'm not sure why the updates are sporadic, though it's certainly out of battery by now.
