Well good news on position reporting as the mailasail teleport blog picked up on the position and plotted it accurately on the map. I'll try and place the position at the end of the blog and see if it picks it up there. I'm now playing around with wind and weather apps. The two I'm working with are Windy and Predict Wind Offshore. Although due to my slow internet connection once at sea I can only use the Predict Wind Offshore app as the data download is pretty low but still gives enough data to work with. I download at 4-5 kBps so need to keep these reports as concise as possible. I'm not inclined to get Starlink which is available now for this crossing (it wasn't before) as I don't to be staring at a screen the whole way across. I'll try and attach an image on this and see if it comes up.
