quoting from Bob (another LongPac participant) with his authorization
"http://www.pacificcup.org/OpenLayers/longpac.php
The transponders aboard our boats send an update to this site every two hours from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. (but not during the night). NOTICE: The transponders are not very reliable. If a boat’s position doesn’t change or a boat disappears from the chart, it probably means the transponder malfunctioned. If one of us is really in distress we’ll set off our emergency beacon or call another boat on the radio, or the Coast Guard directly. i.e. Don’t panic if the transponder malfunctions.
I start at 10:05 Wednesday morning. I’m in division Singlehanded 1.
[...]
Have fun watching."
