I followed it on the tracking sites from Southampton to Le Havre then saw it moor up in the Channel. It then headed south west of France for South Africa then disappeared off the tracking sites 
Any ideas ?

Same thing happened with the Otello on the http://aprs.fi tracking site. It's only become visible again in the last day, having stalled between Southampton and Santander for a few weeks. I was off from work with swine flu for a few days and obsessively watched it go from Bremerhaven (?) to Zeebrugge and then Southampton. When there were no updates for a few days I was convinced it had sunk or (of course) been captured by Somali pirates. I could just imagine them driving happily through the streets of Mogadishu in my new wagon, enjoying the heated seats....

The aprs site isn't consistent in its update frequency. I tracked the Glorious Leader recently, and between Africa and Australia, the ship location did not update for over a week. After it reached Australian waters though, it updated almost daily.Black/Grey MY10 R36 SedanComment

Yep both the aprs & marinetraffic sites lose the ships
Both seem to only be active in main shipping lanes and close to ports
So all doomsayers and their Somali pirate scaremongering can rest now - by my calculations me motor is well past the opportunists

Dont worry about it, there are not enough radio sites to locate it. It will show up again when it comes in range.MY09 Golf GTI Pirelli - 5DR - Black - Sat-Nav - Reverse Sensors - GIAC EXTREME TUNEComment
