In the meantime Garmin have been doing some sightseeing and are now in Fishguard . . .

The vision I have of Team Garmin is that the boat is on the coastline near
Manorowen?
What do I know???? Think the Marine Tracker I'm using is throwing a signal from god knows where.

It was a gearbox that they blew. Unfortunately the parts they need aren't on the truck, but they are working on a plan to get it sorted in time for tomorrow morning.

Well Done to Barry and team bandit appears they have pulled up the rankings and are now a strong contender in their class after coming 10th in the 3rd leg

Spoke with JF briefly this am on the jetty in Pembroke Dock - he had GPS problems. Sometime last night/this am the GPS antenna cable had been sliced through and they had to make a 'bodge repair'
This may explain the tracking problems.
