Thanks Alex
that would be tough going the other way round one would be heading into the Atlantic.
Has it been done that way?

The Team will be arriving to Southampton Dry Stack about midday. The sponsors logos will be put on the rib and the guys will head for Poole.

Tomorrow morning they leave from Poole to RNLI Penlee near Penzance, Cornwall. Distance 150 Nautical Mileson their first leg Round Britain.

I have upgraded the AIS tracking page so the whole route should be displayed when you click on:

NEVER ENOUGH - Pleasure Craft: current position and details | MMSI 235095413, Callsign 2FYY5 | Registered in United Kingdom - AIS Marine Traffic

and click on the orange tab: Received last position

see Facebook for latest updates as well

Great stuff - Rick was splicing my new lifelines last night ! - hopefully he found the burgee...I however am stuck in the office ...

Superb tracking AIS - can see a nice 9 knt past the chain ferry and now up to 30 for the cruise out before turning west . Fantastic day for it ...wish I was there

Looks like they took a little short cut on my Marine Traffic site..

Looking good though, doing a nice steady 29knts at the moment.

This seriously makes me want to buy a AIS transceiver.

Looks OK to me - appear to be just outside Salcombe

A great first day for them on the cards I think ..I am very very envious of them - great boat , great weather , great trip , great reasons to do it

and the weather looks to be holding for the next few days at least if not longer !

Two days ago I upgraded my marine tracking so for 14 days the tracking will be visible . Sadly this will only be for me when I log in. For you there will be a new tracking each day
I will photo these pages and paste daily so the route will be shown to that date.

I can see them now, it must of been a glitch, i thought for the upgrade all you got was more history and more 'my vessel' options?

Steve it is a 14 day free trial so after 14 days all tracking will vanish and all for £1.00 not bad
