Please, no political posts. I'm just pointing out the spot tracking.

The ship must have dropped anchor.  It hasn't moved in four hours.  Maybe it
got hit by a missile.

They seemed to drop the tracking URL, but here it is:

They were greeted by the Israeli Navy:

If you zoom in on the track, you can see the boat has turned back.
Since the spots are so far apart, I guess they are hitting the OK
button periodically rather than real time tracking.

One thing I don't like is SPOT reporting the ESN for the unit. I'm not
sure if it is a security risk. I would hate to have some hacker spoof
the system by using another unit's ESN for position reporting.
