Sea Rescue 06 confirmed they would wait for coordinates from Eric at Port Vincent Base, who provided leg 6 start position coordinates.
Sea Rescue 06
10:35:59 21.9s
Vincent Star, you know, we don't have a GPX file or the ability at the moment, so we'll just stand by here. The last mark I was given by Port Vincent Base would probably be the southern point on this leg, so if you could confirm that, we'll travel down that line. Over.✓ checked
Vincent Star
10:36:23 16.3s
Yes, understood, and that's fine. I'm sure Eric can continue to give you the coordinates as you progress down towards the south and the east, if you want to continue that, and we'll just play around with our GPX file up here. Over.✓ checked
