Staying 'connected' when your sailing across the Atlantic
For many of us, all we have to do to update our favourite social media site like Facebook is whip out our smart phone and post our status update. But what do you do when you're on a small yacht in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean 1000 nautical miles from land?!
Our friends Steve and Annemarie are currently sailing their 12.7m yacht from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean. Thanks to technology we can follow them and live this amazing experience with them day by day through Facebook, their blog and also a location tracking device.
The image below is a screen capture showing their live position (click image to see the latest) and the blog (bottom of page) gives an amazing insight into life aboard a small boat in the middle of the ocean. They're managing to post regular blogs that are also simultaneously posted to Facebook.
If like us, you spend most of your time at a desk in an office, following this adventure is wonderful escapism and we wish Steve and Annemarie safe travels.
