Here Spot!

In view of the loss of J/World as a result of a collision with a whale during the Baja Ha-Ha, we’re reviewing the pros and cons of the various electronic methods of calling for help. Those methods are VHF radio, SSB/Ham radio, EPIRBs, satphones and Spot GPS messaging.

Of these five, we’re not personally familiar with the Spot GPS messaging system. As such, if you’ve used it, we’d love to get a short review from you of the technology and service. Send that info to Richard. ¡Muchos gracias!
