Editorial Note: How to Track the Psyche

You can follow the Psyche's progress on the official Transpac website (link is over on the links sidebar of this blog). Go to the sidebar on the lefthand side, and click on Track Charts, and follow directions from there. Psyche is in Division 6.

This is from the website: "Unlike previous Transpac Race the entire fleet has been provided Satellite Transponders from FIS Tracking Services LLC. These position charts are generated automatically. Rather than publish position charts once a day this service will continuously monitor the progress of each yacht in the race. However, at first the positions shown will not be the current position for the yachts. Reports for the first start boats (i.e., Monday, 9 July, 2007) are every 3 hours, the 2nd (12 July, 2007) and 3rd (15 July, 2007) starts the reports will be every 2 hours. The delay is set at 6 hours. On Saturday the 21st the delay is removed and all positions will be reported in real time."

Enjoy!
