There is also all sorts of reporting going on by several teams, Sailing Anarchy, and Rick White of the "other cat site". -

This GPS tracking is cool. You can see their recent average speeds, and how fast they went during a given period of time. Very interesting capabilities.

The SPOT units they are using are great. they cost only 150 plus service ($12/month)
you set up who's email gets your communication (and track)
they have 3 buttons.
1 - all is good.. here is my location
2 - things are getting hairy... but i am ok.. here is my location
3- send help.. here is my location
