    Yes indeed! He's getting there. I predict that he'll be very glad to eat an orange and some other fruits.

    Its early morning coffee time here by me ;)
    first thing I do (with my cuppa in hand) is check on Sven!

    his last report was at approx 20h00 his time which I assume would be dark already with a half moon ??

    We will have to wait for him to wake up and then hope he makes contact with SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE :confused:

    Hi Manie, see above inserted info in red, many thanks for the updates, sorry don't have much time to respond at the moment . . .

    The Spot map says he's still in your last posted position (the map in post#93) but I think he's the harbour by now but didn't update his Spot map yet.

    I don't speak Portuguese but I used a translator . . . you can put text in here or a link. If only a link is put in there then the whole site and all the linked pages in it will be ~kinda~ translated (select the right languages first).

    From your first link in the above quote, click "Contactos" on the left, this is one of the contacts there . . .

    RÁDIO PRAIA (Radio Beach)
    Hotel Praia Dourada (Golden Beach Hotel)
    Rua Dr. Estêvão Alencastre
    Tel: +351 291 980 130
    Fax: +351 291 982 487 (and/or :confused:) +351 291 980 137
    E-mail: radiopraia91 (dot) 6fm (at) gmail (dot) com

    It looks like a local radio station. If asked, maybe they will go and have a talk with Sven..? (and give us a link to the podcast :))

    --------------------------------------

    This I found about the Yacht Club:

    Clube Naval do Porto Santo (CNPS)
    Porto de Abrigo, 9400 Porto Santo
    Tel:+351 291 982 085
    Fax:+351 291 985 190
    e-mail: cnportosanto (at) gmail (dot) com

    --------------------------------------

    Cheers,
    Angel

    Hello everybody

    just to get updated, I e-mailed 7 different and 1 not thru

    these included the ones that you suggested and that I could find on Noonsite

    sadly still no response, maybe Monday?

    I am hoping that he makes contact with his Swiss friends or family and that they may publish something in a Swiss website

    so folks please keep a lookout on those websites
    I just wished that Sven would have given a Spot when anchored:confused:

    Present project, also listed in the archives September 9, 2011 . . :)

    Just got back to Evgeny's site..

    Sometimes the links in the quote works and sometimes the ones here works: Evgeny Gvozdev - (translation)

    The difference is the links in the quote are with "www." in the URL and here without, hope this saves working links to his site...

    More links (working for now :rolleyes:) about Evgeny are in post #53 and some talk about it in some of the following posts till #67 . . .

    Cheers,
    Angel
