Carl,
Funny you mention that. It really is nobody's business. But sometimes they are hard to miss, and at times you want to share not the location but the fact that it was spotted, or even get a photo (guilty).
There are times when I post pics that I give a general area of where I was, and there are many photos I have not posted due to privacy concerns (especially my shots of Privacy, for example).
But it is getting harder to hide, no wait, to
not be found. Case in point, AIS. Yachts and ships many times now have to have AIS, which is essentially a transponder identifying the vessel. And looking at the system right now, I can tell you where at least a half-dozen yachts are in the Ft Lauderdale area since they have on, or recently had on their AIS system.
