Ditto for the paper.
I have black and white photocopies of photocopies, which are fine and dandy for backup and study. All bad lumpy bit's on
route get a swipe of a highliter pen.
On my recent
Vanuatu trip the owner was amazed at what my large scale paper showed that the plotter did not.
Also I was less than impressed at the
Iridium service.
We had large section's of no
service, and people could not contact us.
We had people in
Vanuatu trying to contact us regarding a Cyclone on March 28.
They had been trying to contact us for 6 hour's prior to contact.
When they got hold of us it was 80 nm north of us and coming at us at 16mph.
We got into a hole OK, but the extra 6 hour's would have been good.
We did have an external
antenna for the unit as well.
Extra chain, can't have enough chain, and big, long
rope.
