Talked with Shane

I talked with Shane and Walid via the satellite phone this morning. All is well and they are preparing for some rougher weather ahead. Shane had tried to call me yesterday with some computer/camera/FTP server problems he had with the on board camera but its all worked out now and he says its taking great pictures. Shane had some problem uploading a picture so he is going to email me one to post when he gets a chance and I'll get it right up.

He pointed out that when you look at their path on the iboat track link it shows them heading slightly north past the 43rd parallel. This is normal and their intneded Great Circle path that is actually shorter than heading due East. One of those globe vs flat mercator projection map things.
