Waiting for Code's next check in

I did not hear from Code yesterday as expected, but that shouldnt rattle anyone given the poor connectivity of the cell phones in between satellites out in the ocean.  We had a very poor quality call on Wednesday, so he is probably trying to get through.  (No worries...if they are in trouble, there is the GPIRB which is highly reliable!).  See the image below to get a sense of the satellite phone coverage.  There are 4 satellites which are stationary.  Best coverage is in the center of the circles (circles are percent of calls that go through) and as you move out it is weaker.  There is some overlap and right now they are in that 10-15% layer (I am not sure if overlapping is necessarily additive).

Weather is looking good for them for the next week (hooray!!).  They had a windy day yesterday/last evening, but winds are looking calmer and wave heights are diminishing to 6-9 feet.  They should be having a lovely day of sailing today.
