New signal!!! 11:29 local time! We all hope that he'll be found maybe on one of fishermen's boats.

sounds like they use a different GPS number format and therefore couldn't find him.
Wow, this world keeps amazing me...

Here a picture of him before the Baltic Sea crossing...he is fully equipped.

WRF format (sent by GPS device) uses decimal numbers instead of degrees and minutes format, but it is easy to convert, but Arabian SAR had problems with it somehow, according to Jan's family.

Let's hope that the search will soon end with a good result.
