Don't leave it too late to get a Yellowbrick...
- 1/12/2009

News broke this morning about a crew of 5 British sailors who had strayed into Iranian waters, by accident it seems, and have been taken into custody by Iran.
We look forward to their safe release, but ironically the yacht was on its way to Dubai to have a tracker fitted!! Had they been tracked, it looks like the authorities could have located them more quickly and possibly helped them out sooner - thus preventing the whole affair...
You can read more about the story here at the BBC website, but there's a lesson to be learnt here - don't leave it too late to fit a tracker.
