John,

thanks a lot for this extensive information, which clears up a few things. Indeed I have been brousing extensively, but it is not always easy to find your way in the plethora of information available.

We have on board an Iridium allowing to donwload gribfiles and text forecasts, as well as a french WeFax program MeteoFax32 which works thru shortband.

There is even an old Trimble Galaxy Inmarsat C (came with the boat I bought last year), but it is not clear if it still works. Have not been able to test it. Obviously that would give all the info via SafetyNet.

Cordially
Philippe
