Reprieve – Temporary perhaps

Had another go at the HFHigh Frequency – usually refers to HF radio which is long range digital radio that Berrimilla used to send all but a few of the logs on both circumnavigations. The radio was connected via a Pactor 3 digital modem to Alex’s laptop and used the Sailmail software application called Airmail to send emails and pull in emails, weather and GRIB files. Airmail also supports Iridium satellite telephone messaging and Alex used this as backup when the HF radio died approaching England./SSB radio and it seems to be working again. Nothing obvious so fingers and all the rest crossed.

Nereida, if it goes on working I'll arrange a skedShort for schedule. A pre-arranged (scheduled) time and frequency for radio contact often co-ordinated by a shore station, such as Penta Comstat, which is monitoring location and safety of boats in their area. Failure to respond to one or more sked can be a sign of trouble with you. Do you have 4483, 6227, 8713 ?

Getting savagely knocked by the current – up to 30 degrees from our heading to COG – water about 4 deg colder than further north. Equator around midnight AGW – just have to sweat it out and hope for a lift from the wind.
