Patrick did get my AIS to work on my VHF radio through the multiplexer. So, now I should be able to set the alarm for any approaching vessels within a certain distance from me. And now both my laptop and the tablet are connected wireless to the WI-FI multiplexer. I am still working on getting the AIS to be displayed on the lap top and the tablet, through OPEN-CPN and Navionics electronic chart programs. This is a big step forward and will make my sleeping habits much safer. He is also resoldering the control cable for the SailMail program to work easier. So, Frontignan turned out to be a lucky destination.
I went into town late this afternoon and Frontignan turned out to be a real pearl of a relatively well preserved medieval town, narrow streets. The Saint Paul church dates to the beginning of the 11 th century and is an unusual combination of Roman and Gothic church and fortification. It was getting too dark to get a decent picture of the exterior of the church. I plan to be off in the late morning after Patrick brings me the repaired wire back and it still looks good to keep going the 300 plus miles non-stop to Mallorca-Ibiza. That should take me three days.
