Its been a long summer for all of us. The last four months have been spent back again in Sweden training while we wait for the hurricane season to end. The average routine consisting 15 km cycling, followed by rowing 10,000 meters and weights.
Unfortunately, the Argos satellite tracking beacons has not been as healthy as me. It has to be returned to CLS in France to replaced by new ones due to weak batteries. The rechargable battries on the beacons have a shelf life of about 90 days after which they need to be replaced. Argos beacon has a distress signal, which will act as a backup to the EPIRB, which is an emergency beacon, an essential piece of the life saving equipment on board. The Argos beacon will transmit my daily position and distance travelled, which can be seen on the progress map in the "latest positions" part of the website.
In the meantime, Pavel Rezvoy is expected to be La Gomera on the 21st followed by the land team from ORS HQ in London on the 27th. Launch date is set for 28th of Nov.
