Also glad that you've all seemed to enjoy our SPOT tracks; we've
certainly enjoyed that folks like you and our families have some more
immediate view of where we are. FWIW, West is having a killer sale on
them at the moment; 100 instead of 150, a free year's subscription to
the tracking service, and a carrying case, plus some other coupon
freebie (don't recall if it's 30 bux or 30% for something).

SPOT is impressive for its price/performance regardless of the
occasional growing pains with the web site.

Thanks for the sale info. I'm thinking of getting one at that price.
If nothing else it would be useful as an inexpensive EPIRB backup,
especially for remote dinghy expeditions in places like the Bahamas
and Everglades where it is easy to get in trouble.
