Quick update

 
The Robinson family and everyone at Team Ciao Bella would like to express their condolences to the crew and family of Bille. This does come a quite a shock and detail surrounding this is limited. More information will follow as soon as we receive anything.
 
On a positive note, the weather is much calmer and swells are down. The days ahead look to be much better and with a morning breeze passing us by.
 
Thank you to everyone following. We are working through the connectivity issues and will be on touch soon.

  2. If they have an HF SSB radio and a laptop on board, they could have used the free RMS Express software for HF radio email to 5 new land stations around them. Very trustworthy setup.

  5. Q 3: If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
    Q 4: Is there ever a day that mattresses are NOT on sale?
