McQ said it all except that we are now hand steering. I have seen sustained gustsShort increases in wind speed – or people who signed the Gust Book. of 40+ and some huge breaking waves. Southern ocean stuff – not in the brochure for up here. Another 36 hours of it according to the gribWeather files.
Graphics in Binary file: GRIB files associate a specific weather datum (eg wind velocity or atmospheric pressure) with a geographic position. Because the resulting file is a collection of these points they are extremely small and so ideal over slow links such as sailmail.. Still no 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..
H tks for relay gust bk msg, IzzAlex's sister, just had goonish scoff. Ta.
Now going to take heart in mouth and try to send this by iridium. Have to take whole system down to do so so always a bit grey knuckle when try to bring it up again.
