Satellite Phone numbers & Web based SMS  service

Lazy Dawn Sat phone number = 881631537942  you can send SMS free to this phone
via the web link below  The messages arrive and can be read but no SMS reply is
possible on my phone model,  except via email or calls all very expensive!!

Email can be sent to the boat but please do not do so unless really urgent as we need to maintain maximum band width for weather acquisition during the race!!
 
 
Have fun keeping up to date!!!
