A few days ago, I installed a new AIS. Here in the Newport Beach area of Southern California, with Long Beach and LA harbors nearby and related cargo ship traffic, an AIS is an important safety feature. I have been checking both the Marine Traffic and Vessel Finder websites to get an indication that the new AIS is working. So far, NO JOY!. Someone said the best way to check an AIS is to ask a friend with an AIS receiver to see if he/she can see your boat. If any of you get a chance, would you mind checking your AIS for “Beautiful Life” in Newport Beach to see if you see her? You can let me know via private Trawler Message. Any help or advice much appreciated!
