Spot is screwed up!
 
When I opened Skip's Spot page, it showed his position as just outside the
channel off Maidstone Park, LI.

I went away and left it running and when I came back his position had
radically changed to show him only 1/3 of the distance from Plum Island to
Maidstone Park, all his fixes changed from when the page opened!

Spot's web page is screwed up....and, obviously, cannot be trusted to
render properly.

I think it's you, Larry. G

I'm following Skip's path. At 6:10 PM , He's in Mattituck Inlet headed
for the anchorage at the head.

I have no idea what you are looking at.

Here's the link I use to get to his page:

Same link. Tonight I'm showing him back in CT headed upriver 18 mins ago.

Not sure why the other tracks happened. it's crazy. All came from the
same stored webpage and all said Flying Pig on them.

Hmm....it was listed at 18 minutes ago when I looked at it. Most amusing.

I've been running mine all summer and checking it and have been following
Skip's closely. I have yet to see an inaccurate fix (allowing for it being
non-WAAS) fix. Nor can do I see the problem with Skip's positions that you
describe.

I just checked this morning, and I can see Skip's path through the
night as he swung on his anchor in the Mattituck Anchorage.

I think Larry needs to purge his browser cache or something...
