The sailor would appear to be safe....

Unfortunately I missed the Skype call early this morning but it was a very great comfort to hover over his entry in my Skype address book and see the words ‘Last seen 03/06/2011 07:22:32’ (which was the 3 am his time, so he obviously was true to his word and made contact at the very first opportunity).

What a relief.

As soon as I have more details I will post them.
