@Giles
Safe travel looks like you have nice weather for your first part of the trip !
Full steam ahead Cpt Giles ️

Have a safe journey @Giles and @Madame-Buttonfly. AIS switched on?

[Giles]

Because of the bloody shenanigans with Menorcan customs we are having to go “dark” until we clear customs in Majorca. Once we have done that we will programme our AIS, once we have done that we will be trackable on various vessel tracking websites. I’ll let you know when we have done that…

Enjoy @Giles and @Madame-Buttonfly looks like lovely weather! Safe travels and I look forward to seeing the updates

[Twistlock]

Cool @Giles. What is your MMSI number?

[tody]

@Giles said in Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure:

We have been assigned a Call Sign and MMSI*

Call Sign: MNKT8
MMSI: 232046961

• Maritime Mobile Service Identities (MMSIs) are nine-digit numbers used by maritime digital selective calling (DSC), automatic identification systems (AIS) and certain other equipment to uniquely identify a ship or a coast radio station.

@Twistlock Is this what you are looking for?

[Twistlock]

Yep @Tody, thanks. slipped my mind that it was already posted.

@Giles Please be careful and you might want to fly one of these until Majorca.

But then again, I think there were quite a few years of hostility between the French, Spanish, and British…

[goosehd]

…and all good pirates had a memorable name. I think we should come up with a pirate name for Giles. Suggestions?

[Karol]

The Indigobeard

[Daniel San]

Sir Giles Drake

This is going to be fun and great submissions so far!! Keep them coming…

[ARNC]

A few suggestions (plus real sources of inspiration):
Giles Coeur-de-fer (Alexandre Bras-de-fer)
Blue Legs Padmore (Red Legs Greaves)
Padmore the Exterminator (Montbars the Exterminator)
