Journal Entry
One of the things that we did today was that Ben and I went to the satellite communications company "Poseidon" to put more money on the satellite phones and to have our computers set up to use the Globalstar phones as modems. I need to use the satellite phone to upload my pictures, journals and question responses when we are in the Kurils, later.
We got the phone-modems set up, but we also learned that the Globarstar satellite system is quite unpredictable. In fact, it is unclear if we will be able to have consistent communications by satellite phone at all.
We will know more when we get there, but as we head out - if you don't hear from us for awhile - you'll at least know why!
Das Vidanya!
