Ok this is way too cool.
A buddy of mine is getting professionally licensed as a ships
captain. Part of the drill is an apprenticeship at sea. He is making his second
passage on the bridge of a 75meter tug.
He sent me this link -
www.marinetraffic.com/ais - Zoom into Malta (south of Italy), and search for a vessel named Sea Jaguar. This is the ship he is on. They look to be anchored a couple of days East of Malta.
Very cool site.
