The latest setback seems to be the EPIRB. At my father's suggestion I checked it, and it did not do what it should according to the text on the unit. Now there is an epirb test facility here in Rhode Island, but they do not cover the brand Jotron. But they could test if it transmitted. It did not... They didn't have a unit on stock, however could have one somewhere next week... maybe. So back to West Marine. Also no stock... Yet another thing to try to get hold of... It all takes so much time! There goes my planned cruise along Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
 
On the bright side, a small computer repair company managed to get the data off the hard disc of my damaged laptop. They couldn't get the laptop going, but still managed to save the data. Glad so, as it contained (amongst others) all the pictures I took during the OSTAR and all my emails.
