AJ Oliver 154 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Just now, AJ Oliver said: A quick comment from an alternate universe: (Or at the very least, an alternate hemisphere) ML King taught us that, if we determine that a law is unjust, we can and should break it; but we should also be prepared to accept the legal consequences (without whining). That way, we can show our respect for the law in general while breaking a particular law. Kind of like Socrates' approach. On the whole, I support Mr. Smith. Who knows, he might be able to strike a blow for the freedom of the seas by his action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete made the comment "Canadian CG and authorities have been very courteous and helpful, no problems" as he entered Baffin Bay a few weeks ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hence the confusion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marinheiro 352 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Latest position - Pete uses Sailmail via Iridium Go and says there is a set up option so that everytime he connects to Sailmail, it automatically sends out a position report to the AIS "world". This is why KR can be identified mid ocean whereas most pleasure boats cannot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
