Status of Lady Blue

[SailorMike]

Does anyone know the status of Lady Blue? Just wondering if she's underway yet or not. She's not showing on the return tracker.

Thanks-

It looks like we don't have any tracker positions for Lady Blue one the race was finished. It's programmed to stay on, so maybe it doesn't have a clear view of the sky.

Am still pretty new to sailing so still learning.... If these things don't have a clear view of the sky, does that mean weather is bad?

Weather can definitly be a factor, but it could be that something is sitting on top of the transponder. If weather were the issue, we'd probably see intermittent reports rather than nothing at all.

Yes, the skipper probably has his grill cover fastened to it. Nothing like high seas barbeque.
