Where is the Olivia Grace?

Whether underway or at anchor, there are 2 ways to find the OG.

Realtime tracking through PredictWind. If we have the IridiumGo powered up, our position, speed and weather conditions are updated every hour or so on the Predictwind tracking page, which can be found here:

If the device is not on, the link above will display our last recorded location.

Tracking through AIS. Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a shipboard broadcast system that acts like a transponder, operating in the VHF maritime band, which is capable of handling well over 4,500 reports per minute. The AIS updates our location as often as every two seconds.

Services that automatically pick up a vessel’s AIS transponder “ping” are convenient, but rely upon shore based stations. AIS content is prioritized to government and commercial vessels over private recreational vessels, so finding us on AIS is not very reliable. Nevertheless, if the AIS is on, and there is bandwidth, our position can be found using services like Vessel Finder. Our MMSI number is 368101050.
