A DIFFERENT WAY OF COMMUNICATION – SwT 46 The Achilles heel of IRIDIUM GO

A DIFFERENT WAY OF COMMUNICATION is my way of looking at the important stuff in a humorous way. My intention is to share my communication strategy and it might not be what you think.
I don’t give advice or telling you what to or not to. Only sharing what and how I do things

And as normal I am sailing my own way not dictated by the masses in how to or what to. I share my experience and how I look at things.
What very few are telling you about is the true Achilles heel of the Iridium GO solution.
And honestly, I don’t think Iridium GO will exist 5 years from now. At least not in the form and price as of today because that’s just not realistic. Tech and price will outrun this solution pretty soon.
But hey you still find sailors with only SSB radio onboard…. so who knows!
I belive Starlink soon will change the way we see things in communication also as a sailor.

If you wonder about how EPIRB and other safety things like PLB and SRT works I have also made an express explanation for you as this is also part of my communication strategy onboard BE FREE even though these things also fit into the safety topic.

Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy this video!
A special thanks to Holly @Wind Hippie Sailing for all the fun and inspiration. If you have not yet checked her channel out I highly recommend it.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I’m trying to sail around the world in my Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever I have time for it. Most of the time I sail singlehanded but occasionally I do have sailing friends onboard. Still in the Caribbean due to Covid and was supposed to be in Asia by now.

Even though this is season 3 on youtube I have already sailed 4 seasons full time but did not make that many videos in the beginning. Before full-time sailing, I have sailed several seasons in the Med prior to this, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I have been traveling the world before and also been an active regatta sailor. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and been sailing ever since.

PLEASE BE KIND IN THE COMMENTS!
I’m just a normal person sharing my travel adventure through my eyes and experience from my perspective! Remember how I do things might work for me but not for you. It might even not be the correct way to do things, and I don’t have the blueprint either. I’m not perfect and nobody is. The day I believe I know it all and don’t think I can learn new things I should go ashore.
