In just few hours, Europa will be crossing over Alphecca Seamount, which is about 485 nautical miles SW of the tip of Baja California and only 120 NM from Isla Clarión. This is the shallowest feature she has come across since she left the Big Island. Europa will be going right over the top of the seamount which is about 156 meters (511 feet) deep. As Europa’s pilots, we are a bit nervous of currents or any fishing activity that could give Europa any trouble, but figure the risk is no greater here than anywhere else Europa has been over the last 3 months crossing the Pacific. As scientist, we are extremely excited to sail Europa over the seamount, which to our knowledge has not been surveyed before, and there is no telling what we will hear! You can track Europa on our map.

Alphecca means “the bright (star) of the broken (ring of stars)” and is the name of the brightest star in the constellation Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown. Alphecca is also called Gemma, the Latin name for gem or jewel.
Corona-Borealis Constellation. Alphecca is the brightest star.
From Galactic- Astrology Blog:
“Alphecca is a star that reminds the quality of the planets Uranus and Pluto, and also the centaur Amycus. The symbolic image 'ring' refers to a situation or circular process that ends and starts again, repeating indefinitely ('limit cycle attractor' in the theory of dynamic systems). Therefore, the symbolic image 'broken ring' refers to interruption of this kind of endless processes; It is equivalent to the classic theme of the fairy tales of 'breaking the curse'.
Alphecca is related to the amazing experience of achieving what had been tried so many times.”
LET’S HOPE SO!!!
