⏳Only 138 days to go until departure…

and that’s why the final technical tasks are now on our to-do list😊.

One important point is the installation of the two Star-Link terminals, which my crew is clearly enjoying. 🛰️✅

Edouard, crew member, is drilling on the deckhouse, where the two antennas will be implemented.

Why two? Well, I want to test whether the mini and the high-performance, or just one, or possibly neither of them, actually work at very high latitudes, i.e. ANT ARCTIC LAB. 🌐 The two antennas will be integrated into the deckhouse in the midship axis to be as safe as possible from sea impact. ⛵🌊

Of course, I still have also Iridium terminals on board as usual, but StarLink makes it much easier and cheaper to let you participate virtually in this unique record attempt😊
