            Because of the bloody shenanigans with Menorcan customs we are having to go “dark” until we clear customs in Majorca. Once we have done that we will programme our AIS, once we have done that we will be trackable on various vessel tracking websites. I’ll let you know when we have done that…

                  We have been assigned a Call Sign and MMSI*

                  Call Sign: MNKT8
                  MMSI: 232046961

                  • Maritime Mobile Service Identities (MMSIs) are nine-digit numbers used by maritime digital selective calling (DSC), automatic identification systems (AIS) and certain other equipment to uniquely identify a ship or a coast radio station.

                  @Twistlock Is this what you are looking for?

                      @Giles Please be careful and you might want to fly one of these until Majorca.

                      But then again, I think there were quite a few years of hostility between the French, Spanish, and British…
