How Kayak Kevin uses SPOT while Kayak fishing.

Some great comments from Kayak Kevin Whitley over at http://www.kayakkevin.com. 

“In 2005 while on a 1,800 mile solo kayak tour, I thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool to have a GPS that could track my progress.” Well now it has been invented. The SPOT personal tracker is the coolest piece of equipment I carried with me on my latest tour around the Chesapeake Bay. Not only was it cool but it was the most important piece of safety equipment I brought with me.

 On my previous tours, my family and friends had no idea my position or condition until I found a pay phone to call once a week or longer. On this latest tour the SPOT tracked my progress every ten minutes for the entire 200 mile tour. Hundreds of viewers followed my progress through a link on my web site supplied by SPOT. That’s just the cool side of SPOT.

 The most important aspect of SPOT is the safety and security that SPOT brings. With the HELP and 911 features, immediate emergency response is a push of a button away. That brought peace of mind to me and my loved ones.

 The SPOT personal tracking system is the greatest technical invention for the modern adventurer.”
