| Where are you? |
The best place to see where we are is to go to the map page. |
| What is the weather like? |
When we are underway, we put the current weather information on the current position page. |
| How do you communicate? |
We have an Icom M-802 marine radio with a radio modem. It is much slower than dial-up. We can only send short text e-mails with it. We also have a GSM phone with a SIM card that we can use to call home when we are near land. |
| Can you receive pictures? |
Not while we are at sea. If you want to send us HTML mail with stationary or pictures of the kid(s) or pets, please use our PHOENIX e-mails. |
| What is your PHOENIX e-mail? |
The general e-mail is info@sv-phoenix.com
|
| How often will you receive your PHOENIX e-mail? |
We will receive our PHOENIX e-mail while we are in port. If we are in a particular port for several days, we'll check it regularly while we are there. |
| What if I send a long e-mail to the boat? |
The boat e-mail is set to cut off long messages. |
| Can I send you an e-mail while you are underway? |
Yes. You will need to send it through one of our communications managers. They will consolidate all of the questions and mail them to us. We'll respond. |
| Why does the "as of" time use Z? |
Z is the timezone designator for ZULU time or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). UTC is based on the Prime Meridian, which is 0 degrees longitude. The Prime Meridian is also called the Greenwich Meridian because it passes through Greenwich, England. |
