The Spot Slogan: "Live to Tell About It" doesn't ring true.

In this case its: "Tell, whether you live or not."
I looked at the spot link, zooming in on #50 and using "Satellite".
As skeptical as I may be of the original story matching the result (weather, moderate swells, etc.), I guess it doesn't make sense to believe that the Spot device miraculously floated along to rock after the boat collided with a freighter.
Amazing.

- Easy thing to do for someone who isn't that familiar with a particular plotter...
- If my reading of a chart is correct
- An observation
- Then there's this report, I witness says she saw the boat run down by a tanker.
- I didn't see any mention of a colission in the text
- Sounds like an Eileen Quinn song
