In Genéve
Just so you know where I’ve got to, I arrived in Geneva / Genéve earlier on. Posts will be updated as soon as I have rescued all 2000 or so pictures and videos off my damaged XD media card. Thank you Adam for the recovery program!
EDIT: Most of the photos seem to be recovered, though I can’t figure out how the Windows thumbnails look fine even for the ones which are corrupt full size. However, none of the videos have survived. I cannot play them in Windows, and if I upload them to YouTube, I get the first few seconds of each before they end prematurely.
Unless someone out there knows a utility that can load and repair dodgy AVI files?

Such a shame you lost the videos, hope you have a good rest before you start the next leg. Take care. Fungirl x

Thanks, Fungirl. Worse things happen at sea and all that but I’ll do my best to get them back and online.
Just paranoid it’ll happen again!

Why not try VirtualDub from sorceforge, its worth a shot. Great to see the vids of the first parts, and get some rest.

Zig, methinks I may owe you a beer… That program seems to do the trick. Just hunt out the dodgy frames, hit DEL and resave. I can’t even see the joins on the one I just repaired.
YAY.
Now all I have to do is upload them to YouTube *sigh*
