Oh come on Peter.

Are you going to make a ham who happens at the time to be at sea use a 
commercial service
just to let friends and family know where he is at?

He's a ham got God's shakes. Dont put a burden on him just because of 
his location.

I see not a thing with a winlink post of latitude and longitude, heading 
and speed.
Besides I see it all the time from people working on a commercial 
shipping boat.
