Clocked

As part of our 2013 circumnavigation of the UK Mainland we cruised up the River Thames to Limehouse Basin. During our passage up the river a boat enthusiast captured us on camera. We have on-board an Automatic Identification System (AIS) transmitter which sends out a radio signal identifying us by name/call-sign, course and speed, so they were able to identify the boat and then create an entry in one of the global ship databases maintained by volunteers. See our entry here which includes a nice photo of us at Gallions Reach Gallions Reach on the River Thames. The picture was taken on 7th Oct 2013.
