Journal
of the fourth day on board
18th April, 1999
We
take advantage of the bad weather to focus on learning and using
the satellite equipment provided to us by Telecom italia, i.e.
radio-maritime services during this "pre-expedition"
phase.
During
this expedition sophisticated technologies will allow us to
talk by phone, to send and receive faxes and e-mail, as well
as to take part in "chat forums" wherever we are.

The
most recent invention is a small futuristic carrying case through
which we shall be able to speak and see each other on screen.
Well, although this exploration at sea is foremost a naturalist
adventure, indeed a treasure hunt without precedent, we shall
try to take advantage of every discovery, chance meeting and
opportunity. Most of all we shall do our best to remain in touch
those interested in watching sharks on the monitor.
A
reminder that the real expedition will start in the middle of
May. Follow us.
