NAUTICAL MILES TODAY: 10

NAUTICAL MILES TOTAL TRIP:
The computer has died so I'm writing this from an internet cafe in Dabo on the island of Singkep. This maybe the last update for a while unless either the computer makes a miraculous recovery or Gretchin - could I text you a short 'All OK' and location to your email from the satphone which you can then post on this blog?
We're all well, having made it across Selat Berhala safe and survived another monsoon downpour in the early hours of this morning, although this time we were prepared! Everything is soaked though, and the electronics are taking a beating with the constant moisture and humidity in the dry-bags, hence the computer meltdown.
We cross the equator in a couple of days, for the final time before Greenwich!

P.S. A quick apology to Jim Brady's students from the Santa Barbara Middle School for not getting back with answers to the questions you sent through. Time has been really tight recently. Let me know if you still want me to reply when we get to Singapore in 2 x weeks?

Jason,
Pleased to see you're still hanging in there despite all the difficulties - just read about your near mugging!
I guess Chris must be back in the UK?
