Where the heck is the boat now? What are you doing there?!?

[WYLMAW]

We are setting off in June to take the boat to the Med; I say 'we' but I mean my husband and a delivery skipper. I, of course, will want to give instructions and valuable advice from my garden - and you can just imagine how much they will appreciate that.

Now, in order to target my sound advice and homilies I need to know where they actually are when I have a bright idea I need to impart. Can anyone recomend a boat tracking system so I can target them with my invaluable support?

Would suggest you search the forums for 'spot tracker', there have been several threads on this subject.

The most recent is: -

I would put a young voluptuous blonde nymphomaniac on the boat who could report back to you. Even better send two.

AIS will pretty much cover the whole trip, apart fom the Biscay section. If they haven't go one, get the iPhone simulator app.

Eavesdrop on 14.303MHz twice a day, or even better get a licence yourself.

There are free apps that you can get that tell you where linked mobiles are - probably eats the battery, but free and easy.

As above AIS on board and track here......

you will loose reception for about a day or so when crossing Biscay. but you will be able to track for 70% of the time.
