Hi Dave - 
 
Penny and I just docked in Jacksonville following a delightful 2.5 day,  
glassy offshore passage from Beaufort NC to Jacksonville FL. Great  motorboat wx! 
As we passed Tybee Roads, the AIS display from an  inbound tow listed their 
destination as Philadelphia. Penny had to  yank the mic from my hand as I was 
switching the VHF to 13 to tell him that he  couldn't get to Philly from 
Savannah. Point is we see incorrect and  missing info all the time; who will enforce 
it? No one, methinks. Sort of like  red light enforcement in the USA has 
become - the cops are apathetic.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and regards,
 
John
"Seahorse"
 
PS - Dave - Yikes - send us some cheap Diesel!

Dave asked > Is there anyway of reporting a ship that is "missing"  an AIS 
signature?
