Ahoy There..ship tracking site

[Glocko]

Was told about the following website by a pal. Tracks the movement of all ships round the UK coast. Interesting or geeky? Dunno but I live on the Mersey riverfront and it's cool to be able to look up a ship and see where it's off to/from.

(i'll get me sou'wester )

The Yoda of force stong in you it is.

Terribly sorry, that should be when I am on leave.

Yep, we live on Southampton Water and I can do the same, I can hear the Isle of wight Ferry go by and look online to see which one it is!

Get yourself a hand held VHF and put it on Scan, New Horizon do one for about 80 quid, you can listen to all the shipping stuff.

Oh, feeling like a nerd!

Can anyone check where Dans Dynamo is please?

It should be somewhere between Singapore and a port on the east coass of China - north of Taiwan.

Hopefully she is still moving and hasn't got stuck in a headwind or anything.

Thanks

Really?
LOL

I had a game when I was in the Navy called Janes fleet command. I was in the ops room one night watch and I was playing it on my Panasonic Hardbook. It was quite realistic and one of the baby OM's who was working on the plot thought that it was actually real. I loved that game. Anyone else heard of it?
