Dear Family and Friends,

I have misunderstood Alan over the problems we have had we the comms systems, apparently our redbox is not working and with no hope of fixing it now, we will be without a blog until Antigua.

Alan has been working against the odds with multiple repairs to complete so this was a lower priority but it is still a blow.

The iridium is still working as a phone, +88 1632530397.

Sorry folks!

All our best, Lynne and Alan
