The previous Iridium unit was not providing a GPS position output, a replacement unit has now been installed and should update our position as displayed on the blog.
We are still in Plymouth, having had a prolonged struggle to set the SAT C system to work. After twice returning the units for test, we finally established that the fault lay with the installed cable. After installing a new cable, we at last have a functioning system.
Now we are looking at the very unsettled weather patern for the next few days, hoping to find a window to get us across the channel and on our way around the coast of Brittany.
