This time the tracking will be done by satellite so there won't be any blank spots. In fact the whole tracking thing will be next generation compared to last time. I'd like to see a picture of your refueling idea. Cheers Hey Colliwob. This time the tracking will be done by satellite so there won’t be any blank spots.

So, you're determined to go through with it eh. Frightning as it was to follow your progress around NZ, what differences do you plan to the tracking for those of us watching your every move? i.e. As you know there were large 'black spots' where we lost track of you in particularly remote area's. Also, regarding the refueling, what about a refueling rig like we used in the motorcycle endurance events with a drum on a tripod/block and tackle to achieve gravity feed (on SB) and a flexible hose and nozzle with a floaty? Cheers Wobbly G’day buddy. So, you’re determined to go through with it eh.

We would have to look at the efficiency of running the engines all night to achieve this vs motoring back in the morning. Thanks Marie.

That way, no need to motor back in the morning. Jeremy, instead of drifting at night, your SB should be able to lock-in its position by GPS and remain stationary.
