Friday November 1st. “All Saints”

Friday, November 1st, 2013

I am in good company today. But I’d trade my sainthood for some help with the SailMail and AIS software.  The wifi multiplexer arrived on time, last Wednesday. It is an incredible versatile tool, it allows you to have a number of your electronic  gadgets connected to each other wirelessly.  I’ll be able Friday to take my new tablet anywhere around the boat without tripping over its wires. But wiring the VHF radio to the multiplexer has been a real challenge and it has not worked so far after all the hours spend on the manuals. Marc left this morning for Les Saintes Marie de la Mer, to the east of here.

SailMail has not worked yet either but I believe that is a minor detail and I hope to get it running this evening. The weather looks good for tomorrow but then turns stormy again. So, I may have to try it again in Barcelona or the Baleares. It has warmed up again and since the schools are on holiday and it is a four day weekend with today’s holiday, there are many more vacationers here.
