This image was taken on Thursday November 5th at 3:21 pm.  It looks like most of the shipping traffic is confined to the shipping lanes at the Port of Vigo.  The ship that is closest to the glider is at 42 degrees North, 10 degrees West.

The image above was taken on Tuesday, November 10th at 12:47 am.  There is a lot of heavy traffic here off the coast of Spain and Portugal.  Many ships can be seen outside of the shipping lanes and further than 10 degrees West from the shore.  There are many ships at 11.23 degrees West, however there are a few that drift out towards the 12 degree West mark.  This could be seen as a potential problem when picking up RU 27.
