Bought a Spot

After talking with my wife last night about how I most likely won't be able to stay in touch while on the West Coast Trail, she left it up to me to decide if it was worth buying a SPOT Personal Tracker. I did some research and found that if used as directed it should be fine for sending the messages. A fair number of people said that it wouldn't replace a PLB for them but I can't afford both right now.

So I decided to bite the bullet and bought one today at lunch from Ralph's Radio here in Victoria (got a $10 discount as well!).

I've setup a site to share the OK messages here. When I'm back I'll give a more thorough review.
