Track an RV flying to Brazil
My RV is now on its way to Brazil... The happy buyer and his friend took off today from Kendall-Tamiami (TMB) and made a safe journey to Providenciales. It was hard watching that takeoff and seeing my baby fly away.
The guys have a SPOT with them and can be tracked here:

Also, their blog is online, but only in Portugese

Wishing them a good and safe trip and good weather.

How accurate is the SPOT? It looks like their last position was 4 hours ago and quite a few mile off shore from Providenciales. Is this a common feature if you have a SPOT?
Cheers.
From Rosie: His SPOT is updating every 10 minutes, and he landed then turned off his SPOT before it updated on Providenciales. I either leave mine on after landing for awhile or there is a way to 'force' an update. I've had friends call to let me know that I've landed in a cornfield short of my destination

Final into St. Maarten:
Everything's going well. Yesterday they flew from Provo to St. Maarten in 4:10hrs and still had about 10 gal. left upon landing.

Last SPOT update -- they landed in Georgetown, Guyana -- they are on the continent!!! Nothing-but-ocean is now replaced with nothing-but-jungle.
