My wife is currently in the middle of the English channel swimming as part of a relay crossing for Diabetes UK. No space on the boat (only passenger place went to a medic because of all the diabetics onboard which is fair enough) but with the wonders of modern technology I can track whilst sitting in a cafe in harbour supping a cappuccino. Rather than chucking my guts up (again!).
The boat has a Spot GPS Messenger so she can be tracked at - here. Am thinking I need one of these for back country adventures - being able to send messages to home every day to say you are still alive and alert emergency services (and have a log of your movements on line though not so fussed about that) without being reliant on a phone signal seems to be worth the outlay.
She seems to be doing quite well - hopefully not too well as I'm feeling a snooze coming on!
