Does anyone know of a water taxi in Portsmouth Harbour, Tel Number / VHF Frequency / MMSI ???? Thanks

After reading of AJC's stolen boat, happened to be moored next to mine, I have just purchased and fitted a system as described above very cheaply from E-Bay. The GPS alarm will call my mobile on detection using a PIR and contact breaker, completely wireless. Cost me £120 + £10 to top up the...

I have just purchased a silent PIR / contact, GSM alarm for my boat £120. It will call my mobile without the intruder being aware, I am also able to listen in to what isgoing on. Together with a payment to an online tracking company, I can locate my boat within a few kilometers. Although not...

Thank you, that will certainly help them.....

My sons current position is aprox 48nm from St Maarten, slow progress at the end due to very light headwinds. He has advised that they are almost out of fuel, but plugging on to St Maarten. Wind is N 4mph at present so late tonight entry maybe.
