Must be the weather - AIS with 300 mile plus range!
Must be something in the air this afternoon - a VesselTracker AIS chart covering the Western Approaches showed a number of vessels well to the south west of Land's End.......
with the Loxandra, the farthest boat selected, the distance calculator was used to plot a course between the vessel and Penzance - recording a distance of 309 miles! Not bad for a system that uses the VHF frequencies - normally giving a signal strength equivalent to or not much more than a line-of-sight range.
