All respect to you Duane, and good on ya for keeping an eye on them. It might be, however, that the disconnect is between your expectations and theirs. If there was not a specific Spot use regime agreed to beforehand, it is a tough call to expect them to put out a report immediately on arrival on the island. I agree, I'd expect them to do so, and "consistent" use would dictate the same. When they get back, I'd definitely chastise them a bit. In addition, on some parts of the globe (yours is not one), it might take a while for a Spot sender to get a report out (local topography, satellite not in position, etc.). -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
