No pain in the AIS!

Ahoy,

the AIS returned in the post today, I fitted it and to my relief and surprise it's working fine. I now have no idea what was wrong, the company I bought it from said the old one was working fine on the test bench, must be Gremlins or some such thing.
I am going to spend tomorrow night on a Pontoon, use of water and power and then leave the following day.
All that remains before I shoot the Bay so to speak, is sort out the Sat stuff, buy plenty of bottled water, tinned food, biscuits and the like, while resting as much as possible in Belle Ile.
It looks as though there is some bad weather a couple of days away on the knuckle of Northern Spain, so I will wait to see what is does before the Ol' Girl and I commit ourselves.
I have had some joy playing with a short wave radio and a Navtex program on the computer, maybe by the time I'm in southern Spain it will be spot on.
