Hi
There seems to be many different ways to do this. Proeviously I have
maintained a web site that I posted as I got to an internet cafe or a
wi-fi signal.
We are about to kick off on a major passage from Borneo to Australia
and this time the approach is two-fold. Using our HF-email Winlink I
will send position reports to QTH which has an excellent position plot
page using Google maps. To send passage notes I send messages to a blog.
The same blog works well with Picassa for uploading photos and blog
entries when online. I am now seeing less and less the need for an
actual web site.
This is simple to do, and for our 'watchers', its just a matter for
them to go to either our web site or the blog.
I looked at sailtrac.com and would have considered it but the need to
invite 'watchers' did not suit me.
regards
Colin
