Lat S 24 43°/ long W 133 46°

November 27 Day 9
As you can see in the title, we are now approaching W130 degrees, which means
I can now connect to the Inmarsat C satellite, West Atlantic. That is
good for then I will be able to get the weather reports from Chile
I have not been able to see. The weather reports that I received on Inmarsat so far
are from Australia and end at W 120, which means they do not support much
planning in advance. Weather on Inmarsat C supplemented with
GRIB files, we receive by the satellite phone is our basis for
route-planning. Now we can see a couple of days ahead of us with good wind direction
and speed.
