Fixes from logger have been 'thinned' to one
minute intervals except for within 1nm of
turnpoints where they remain 1 sec fixes.
Of note: Scoring zone at Taransay was missed by
about 80m and Cape Wrath by just 15m!

Total distance: 1443 Nm (2672 Km)

Avg. Speed: 49.75 Kts (92 KmH)

Spot fixes
Fixes sent off to the spot satellite device
RMH was carrying for the film crew
to keep track.
For reasons unknown they were a bit
intermittent but it is a fantastic device.
The 'ok' fixes were sent manually from
the aircraft.
