See our geographic location .... new feature on blog... March 23, 2012

I've added a new feature to my blog that I’m really excited about.

You can now see my geographic position, just click on the second link in the sidebar to the right, entitled: "SPOT GPS Location".  That will take you to my SPOT Shared Page, which displays my current and past locations for the last week.

When I leave La Paz (March 31), I will send a new SPOT position at least once a day. Within 15 minutes my position will be displayed on my SPOT Shared Page. These positions are labeled "OK" to show that the crew and boat are "OK". If we run into trouble on the high seas I can send a "HELP" message or an "SOS". This alert will be secondary to our EPIRBs (satellite rescue beacons), VHF radio, and Short Wave radio, and hopefully it will never be activated.

After seeing where I am you can return to my blog by clicking on the BACK arrow in the upper left of the page.


If you have any questions you can post it as a comment in my blog and I will try to answer.  However, once we leave land’s end at Cabo San Lucas we will have no internet connectivity until Turtle Bay (450 nm away). Similarly, when we leave Turtle Bay that will be the last you hear from us until we reach San Diego. However, our geographic position will continue to be updated every day since that service uses direct satellite communication and does not rely on cell phone towers or WIFI.
