If this post appears on the blog it means that we can send and receive emails and post to the blog anywhere in the world via our Iridium satellite phone. We had this phone on our last trip but this is a new number. When we are out of mobile range we will be checking the message bank once a day and try to update our position on Yotreps(see the link on the right hand side of the blog). We will also be able to update the blog with text only(no photos), we aren’t able to browse the web so we can’t view comments etc. when we are using the sat phone, but we enjoy receiving your comments and will be reading them when we get into civilization and high bandwidth internet.
The other thing we will be able to do is receive weather grib files via email which we can overlay on our chart plotter. It will give some peace of mind knowing what your sailing into.
Looks like we will be leaving Brisbane around Wednesday next week with our bow pointing towards Cairns.
