Can you see your boat on a webcam?

I see mine every time I drive to work. Does that count?

It is better than ideal.

But is yours a great big battle ship that is hard to miss and has crew to make sure she stays put?

I used to drive to work IN one of those.

My boats mooring is on the loch that I drive alongside on my way into the current job. No webcams except for the military ones that I can only see image from if I go into the security department.

We don't see our boat on a webcam, but we may be on this one sometime in July.

Now that's what I call a webcam!

One of them - as a white, blurry speck in daylight hours only. At least I know it's still on the mooring.

I can see mine on this: http://www.seabird.org/wildlife/webcams/harbour-cam/12/28/105

From work one horrible day I was able to see that my stern line had parted and called a VERY good friend who nipped down and got wet through in horrible conditions and fixed it for me. So, a useful resource for me, even though I also tend to be down at the harbour most evenings too.

Yes, that was the whole point of the gadget I made up for my nervous friend.
During the dark hours he can now go to

phone 07800560773 for 3 rings and hang up (so costs nothing) and interior lights I installed for him will shine via one of my gadgets for 30 secs and then turn off. Screen refreshes every 30 secs so I best go back and set lights to stay on for 60 secs I guess.

Very reassuring to see at night when a gale is blowing=but we used belt and braces on the mooring so all should be well= but still nice to see it night and day.
At moment it is just a bit of fun= haven't got it for sale on my website= using his boat as a test bed. Have now decided to install two 10W LEDs instead now with heat sinks etc = so bright they hurt my eyes, but boat will be visible and as interior lights he will be able to see into every knook and cranny = just fitted two to my car and they may be a bit TOO bright = I feel plod pulling me over for a chat, but at least I am testing them in harsh conditions.

Now, don't all go ringing his boat because you may flatten his battery = probably not though.

I can even see it with bins... but not in the dark, so it's a fun thing but no security...

I can see mine from my living room window, does that count?

One can't beat that!

I can get a far away view of my boat on its mooring on my club's webcam. It is a possible to scan the camera and get a good idea of the sea state off Dalgety Bay from my home PC.

It is well in the distance but much better than nothing.

That is a super web cam.

I thought my friend was lucky to have a club with a web cam, but yours is the dog's dangles. Pan, zoom..........
