Wow, that's amazing! I would feel very unsafe - at least here, if you leave
Durban headed for PE and don't arrive at PE, someone starts checking on your
safety. If we could just do whatever without telling anyone, I think we'd
lose a lot more lives. I don't think of it as losing my freedoms, or a
beaurocratic nuisance, or even as "Big Brother is Watching" - if I have
nothing to hide, why should I be worried? - I'd rather feel that my country
is taking care of (a) my safety, and (b) its security - i.e. also my
safety - than worry about my freedoms and end up in trouble in a major storm
with equipment failure, no way of reaching anyone, and no-one looking for
me. Like the girl who wrote "Red Sky at Night" - those situations really do
happen. I'm happy to know my track is being watched and therefore my safety
increased. :-))
Best
Jodie
