The most exciting NAVTEX broadcast received so far…
This morning 22-feb-2013 around 05:00 local (10:00 UTC) I received the most exciting NAVTEX broadcast so far….. a ship taking on water! I mean….that isn’t something one should celebrate… but it was still kind of cool!

Apparently the ship is called the Megan-Marie and at one point it was about 85 miles east of Nantucket island taking on water. A link to the news story is here.
