    "He had the antenna he used to contact Rob Macfarlane four years ago. At that time Rob was participating in the 2011 Long Pac and Brian was able to communicate with him on Tiger Beetle 200 miles offshore. "

    Actually, just for accuracy, it was the 2013 Long Pac, and we (on Tiger Beetle) were not terribly far beyond the Farallones when we talked to him around 8pm the first night of that race. It was still amazing to be talking to him that far out and he was clear as a bell to us. We had already retired and were heading back when we talked to him. He did later on in the race contact someone else much further out than we had been, I believe it was Maris, but ask Brian.

    Oh and if you are having difficulty with the refresh of the trackers - i.e. the 5am track time issue - try switching browsers to Mozilla. Apparently there is a known issue with some Internet Explorer and Chrome browser versions. They are working on that.
