Mike,

I was going to suggest exactly that - but it would add costs!!!!

IIRC I did a race around the Solent and we were told we "should not" go near the shipping lanes in a certain area between the hours of X and Y as there may be submarine movements and they WILL NOT see us and we may not be able to get out of the way. Wolly sailing instructions are imposible.

I guess with someting like NASA thay can close you down if you do not play ball. However, adding simple GPS points as marks will not work when there are only 2 people on the boat and if ther is much wind they will be too busy to be watching the GPS all the time.
