After my last report to you about SSB problems I received concerned correspondence from a couple of members of the crew pool that were sent down to the Farm Team for this crossing.
The above pictures from Hammy and Dice show the correct way to operate the big Icom Radio. So there it should be easy going now!
Since my last I have been advised that MacArthur and Chuggy have completed the shopping for non perishables - read freeze dried sawdust (actually I couldn't believe how good it was last time). So they must be planning on going for sure because that stuff is expensive and it just will not keep - longer than about 15 years!
You will note that a picture of MacArthur AKA Barkmulch has appeared on the Blog. I will try to figure out how to get some "file" shots of the other smiling faces up soon too.
Right now Doug is listed as "Navigator" but depending on where you look on the Transpac Race Site there are conflicts about who is in change and who is doing what. The only thing for certain, that I can glean from their registration information, is there are apparently no ordinary sailors onboard!
