Took a SPOT on my 2013 solo as at the request/demand of my wife. Found out that only a third of what I thought were successful "all OK" transmissions ever went through. Told folks on my list to watch for any "send help" messages but warned that if no all OK messages were received it did not mean there was a problem. Could be operator error, device issues...

I'm guessing the SPOT went into the glovebox after the pre-border crossing transmission and wasn't thought of during the canoe loading/departure excitement. Looking forward to the trip report.
