Ooh, how'd you do that then?

Off St Davids. Looking at the track she's been wandering around a bit, direction wise.

Not getting much exposure of late ....... Nor the sponsors . No update on the blog nor here. What a change around from the" I'm going to set the world alight and everyone is going to know about it " Elie was telling us .

Any Prestonites got any news ??

Clyst - have you got nothing else going on in your life?

She has been in exactly the same place for 3h 37m and it's given as "self-reported". The link to "Self-reported" 404s, but the page at http://www.marinetraffic.com/de/p/report-your-own-position suggests that it's when you contact them and say where you are, rather than anyone picking up an AIS signal. There seems to be an Android apps for that, so perhaps the single position of St David's Head just means she got a mobile signal for a bit.

Looks like she picked a good weather window.

ETA sometime on Thursday if she keeps going?

Bet it feels good after all that crane nonsense.

 

[Lakesailor]

Which crane nonsense was that?

 

[Twister_Ken]

Damn fine show, Ellie!

 

[Searush]

I seem to remember her being advised to use a low loader.

How does the site know the destination of a pleasure craft?

How does the site know the destination of a pleasure craft?

At a guess one would assume that the site gets data from the vessel's systems automatically or it is manually entered by the vessel's navigator. I don't really know.

Seeing as the positions are self reported, I'm assuming she's probably using the mobile app. I would also assume this lets you provide more data than a standard AIS B transmission would send.

....she's probably using the mobile app...

Round the Lizard now.

Interesting to see how the reports fall away as she heads across a deep bay, perhaps because of falling outside mobile range, and then pick up again at the next headland.

Round the Lizard now.

That's good going. Shows how far you can get in a boat if you don't stop anywhere.

I've set her in 'My Fleet' on Marinetraffic.com, and have just received an email to say she's arrived in Falmouth. I'll be there myself tomorrow, so might check her out.
