Hi Peter
Last email I received
Friday 18th Nov [from Grant]:
Doing Immigration at 2 p.m. then away - try to clear Singa before dark.
Guess he'll call you further down the track.
Via Google 507nm Singa to Phuket .. I'd say 100nm a day ETA midday Tuesday 22nd at Ao Chalong..i.e. all going to plan.
I know it's great to scan "Xena's" position via Tracker..perhaps can organise when he calls.
Cheers, Iris.

Me again [PF]: I just got Satphone update of position, at 10:30 am Hong Kong time:02 29N, 101 38E, and "All OK"
So, if they left before sundown last night, they've made very good time to be 150 miles up the track. There's about 355 NM to go.That's Xena in the yellow place marker and Phuket is the pink one top left.
Re the Tracker: the PredicWind folk say that it must be a hardware problem, so they're sending me a new unit under warranty to Hong Kong. Doubt it'll be here before we leave for Phuket, however, so it's going to continue to be contact via Satphone.
SMS to the Satphone:
ReplyDeleteWinds light to Monday pm, then 20-25k E, S of Phuket easing to 15-20 E by Wed 23rd.
(your sms pos'n report received, tx)

May the way be free of obstacles and a delightful sail to Phuket for "Xena" and the Boyz like last year..always I wonder how they're do'n. Thanx to Peter keeping us all informed .. TTFN Iris
