Welcome aboard Subsafe, perfect first post .
Looking forward to seeing you more "observed"

I confess to not knowing exactly how the system decides who you are if not logged in


Device matters. On the app, I’m always logged in, but last week I came back from work early and caught my wife in the vee-berth lurking on her laptop. She was sorting out an issue with our VHF registration. CF is a fantastic resource.

But don’t worry, I told her to sign in, or it wouldn’t be legit.
