Done a search but cannot find out where she is registered, company is based Guernsey, but that means nothing other than tax advantages...

Very interesting site that is Cam. Locates boats and ships all over the world via sattelite. Only for geeks not women obviously. Handy to know what may be hidden by the sea mist and bearing down on you.

No actually done that some time back when I posted a story about being lost in Gran Can, the “shit” picture was a topic at the same time, can’t recall if I ever posted the picture with the captions, added captions at time with whatever came with windows 7, still not downloaded the paint thing yet...
