We still have no contact from Francesco. Alberto Spina is simulating his position according to wind and wave conditions. Today he should be around the area 24° 30' N - 34° 20' W with 20 knot wind.
Telespazio, who is sponsoring the project with an Iridium free account, is telling us that the SIM is valid and should work. So this roles out credit problems on the prepaid account.
I 've also been in contact with Francesco's father, who is sailing between the Canary and Cape Vert islands. We both think that since there is no EPIRB signal and since there has been no storm in the area probably the phone, the battery or the phone key pad have failed.
We are sending emails to Francesco's Iridium phone hopeing that he might be able to read them. Also, Jean Baptiste Brugere, from Technicomposit, yesterday contacted CROSS Atlantic to ask the vessels in the area if they have any contact with Francesco.

Francesco Francesco, " piccolo uomo nell'immenso mare" , come dice il poeta!
Il nostro cuore naviga tra le tue vele e tutti insieme attendiamo tue notizie.
Un forte abbraccio.
Susy e gli amici di Berlino
Ti siamo vicino anche se non possiamo fare molto per aiutarti....
