Winner buys the rum!
Sailmail and iridium phone are a tag team from hell. Sailmail is stuck in a feedback loop so that no matter what we request for weather data it returns the same very large file that jams up the pipeline. I’ve been at the computer for three hours this morning trying to get it working properly! Ack!
On a sweeter note, yesterday was a gorgeous bluebird day to begin the race. Aloha!
