Something wrong with the sound unfortunately.

It is very unfortunate!

Andy had a lot to say, chatted freely and very honest too.

Perhaps we can add some subtitles?!

Been keeping up to date with the guys progress daily using the ocean track. Wish them all a safe and enjoyable journey.

As on my computer I have additional loud-speakers, it becomes understandable.
I'll try and see if I may improve in any way.

anyone following progress?
What has happened with Jaba - position not updated since 16th??
presume(hope) just electronics failure and nothing else but no entry on his blog since 16th either.
What is used to give position info for OceanRaceTrack? I would think it different from email...

Where is Jaba's Blog?
I was following Basil on Facebook and reporting his position for the inclusion on Ocean Racetrack to Eric and Guy. But as noted his last position was 15 May - almost a week. Could be a lot of reasons why his SPOT positions have not been given. Personally I am concerned.

last entry also on the 16th.
..as you say could be many reasons.

Sitting in the RWYC before the start of the JC14, Basil was having IT issues concerning connectivity between his Iridium phone and his notebook.

This, I hope, explains his lack of communication.

Unfortunately it doesn't explain his lack of SPOT signals. What worries me more now is the fact that his SPOT and his blog stopped within 24 hours of each other.

Hopefully technical clitch and everything is fine. What's his progress like on ocean track. Is his course as you would expect?

No. Our concern is that neither his blog or oceantrack have updated since the 16th.

 

[nikc]

over 1 week now and still no information from Jaba!

Who is officially running the Challenge this year?
Perhaps they should become involved?

details have been passed to coastguard.
