The basics:
- there are 360° in a circle which means there are the same number of
degrees around the earth.
- if you divided 360° by the 24 hours in a day, each 15° west that you move
(we're moving west) means there is an hour time change.
- if you send a dirty, smutty SMS to Loram/Baartman or Goble-Warming (the
dirty old man wishes he did receive some) at 08:00 South African time, it
currently arrives on the SatPhone at 05:00 am local time, when three out of
four of us are asleep.
- the SatPhone, just like a cell phone, emits an irritating beep-beep when a
message arrives and those that are asleep, jump a further 60°west with
fright, which is why a geography lesson applies.
