Great news for everyone wanting to follow me as I go Round Britain…

MarineTrack, leading provider of Telematic Systems, is providing me with a tracking device that will allow you to tranck my progress as I travel round. I don’t have all the technical details yet but it will mean that you will be able to view my progress in real time when I am at sea!

Established in 1998 by a group of telematic engineers specialising in remote medical monitoring, MarineTrack responded to the remote monitoring needs of the Super Yacht Industry. Many Super Yacht owners wanted to track their expensive assets and in creating a solution to this industry requirement MarineTrack developed what was widely regarded as the first Ship Security Alert System (SSAS).

MarineTrack continues to lead the market in the manufacturer of high quality reliable Ship Security Alert Systems providing tracking solutions in the commercial shipping market with well known companies including Shell and Royal Caribbean Cruises.

MarineTrack’s systems are versatile and continue to evolve to meet the ever increasing demands of a global industry. Our specially configured web based interface allows our customers to perform real time, fleet wide, tracking of their floating assets, remote engine monitoring/management and simplified Company Security Officer alerting.

Please take a look at the MarineTrack web site here before you leave.

The web site is launched. This site will eventually become a reference site for all issues connected with going Round Britain by sea. See how it is created and get a site like this yourself.

This web site was officially launched last week and is slowly taking shape.

I am hoping that it will not only be the main source of information on this event but afterwards it will serve as a general information source for anyone wishing to find out about going round britain by sea. There is actually very little information on the web for someone interested in what planning is required, routing considerations, fuel, logistics etc. After I have returned this site will remain as a good reference for budding Round Britain mariners.

If there is anything that is currently missing from the site that you would like to see then please do email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and I will add it if at all possible. Please also email if there are problems with the site.

The web site uses Joomla! to create the basic Content Management System. If you would like to have a similar site then please get in touch as in the real world I am a computer consultant and might be able to assist.

The domain name roundbritain.org.uk was amazingly unregistered and so I simply registered it in my name and put it onto my web server. If you want a domain name for a boating event, your family email and web site, your company email and web site or anything else then please contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and I will help if I can. Perhaps take a look at my business site at www.latchbrookcomputers.co.uk for more information on what I can offer.
