Rebel Heart, the Hans Christian 36 scuttled recently, did an interview
on NPR a few days ago:
<http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/525/transcript>
It was interesting to hear that the Iridium Satellite phone failed with
an 'Invalid SIM card' message because the distributor providing the
cards made a change and invalidated all the existing SIM cards.
I've had that happen to me *twice* in the last 18 months, and while they
were very cool and FedExed a new SIM card internationally, it is very
disconcerting. I consider that thing a very important piece of safety
gear, and in fact only have it in case of emergency. I don't think
FedEx will deliver to a boat off shore.
