Losing our satellite communications 1000 nautical miles offshore: https://youtu.be/GYfDZgdeQps
Big thanks to our weather router Charlie from www.myweatherrouter.com for having our backs in this inconvenient situation 😉
Also thank you to St. Paul de Vence for the music! I’ve really enjoyed illustrating the footage of our crossing with Ben’s beautiful music, and I hope you enjoy it as well 🙂 You can listen to St- Paul de Vence on Spotify at: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6Gn9h2lBikJ7YoBO4OsE29?si=e27fce600e8b4db4
We are almost halfway across the Atlantic ocean when our satellite communications device decides to crap on us, leaving us completely disconnected from the World.
With no updated weather forecast and no way to keep contact with shore to tell them that we were OK, we tried to activate our Garmin InReach, a satellite tracker that we kept as a backup.
While we believed that the InReach would allow us to reconnect with our shore support Willem, and our weather router Charlie, we quickly realized that without an active data plan (which required an internet connection to activate), our InReach was absolutely worthless.
Luckily, after two days without satellite communication, we passed a tanker ship that helped us contact Willem and pass along all the information he needed to activate the InReach’s data plan.
Unfortunately, 48 hours after being in touch with Willem via the tanker ship, our inReach is still not functioning.
And while we do not receive updated weather forecast anymore, life onboard needs to go on, and we need to make do.
