On page 267 at the top Ya'ari says RCV reported that he saw his rebbe 
dance "b'lyle *Motzoei Yom Tov* Achar Maariv." It was then (on 
Motzoei Yom Tov) that he made the 7 HaKafos. This is not on SA, it is 
on Isru Chag in EY. True, the writer writes ST, but he is referring 
to what is ST in Chutz L'Aretz.  Furthermore, RCV writes that he did 
not see what the ARI did during the day.
