I find this so interesting especialy living on a small island I can watch ships on the web and go on the balcony and see them either come into port or go past. any body on the sea shore its a must have.

AIS

Been down to the boat to see if I can see myself "SAD". But aparantly Menorca is switched off. Hoping that when I go out next time the SWIMBO will be able to see progress at home and watch the boat. Dont see any reason why this wont work once I get nearer a live AIS station.

This has got to be a big safety feature for private boats making sea crossings. Would seem no reason to call to say got there safe. however if I didnt ring I think I would get a bo+++++ing anyway.
