Enough of this. Spent most of the week trying to
get through to Necol in Sint Maarten, to top up the credits on the Sat phone. If
only I knew that the company that sells you the SIM card is the only F Company
in the whole wide world that can top you the F up. How shit is that? If only I
knew that I would not have bought it from a company in the third F world. I know
better. I worked for a third world company for years. I've sent my billing
information by email & tried contacting them by phone. I must be the
only yachtsman whose Sat Phone service provider is on holiday. F! Well I'm going
shopping first thing in the morning, check out with customs &
immigration & if I have Comms at sea, great, thanks a lot. If not, F
em. Looks as if I will enjoy about 5 perhaps more days of light southerly winds.
It's what I need, as I'm a little fat to the west as it is, and with southerlies
I won't have to come quite so close when reacing north. The next Low pressure
system seems 5 to 6 days away & it could go anywhere. The last two went
north. What are the odds? I did some work on my ARIES self steering and
expect it to be more responsive, and easier to get working right. I might have
opportunity for a quick email in the morning, but if not, when I get to Nova
Scotia. God Bless.
