What activity would generate the tracks in the middle of the ocean? As I understand Strava whenever I switch it on it tracks my activity at that moment until I switch it off. Looking at the heat maps I get the impression that there is always on data being tracked in addition to those that are intending to track a specific activity. Do fitbit worn 24/7 submit data constantly to strava?

Running on cruise ships, maybe?
there's tracks from what looks like the Bermuda-Newport yacht race.
the more I look over the heat map the more I think that there's always on data being tracked out here. there's NO WAY this is just running and cycling routes.
There's a button with waves which I assumed at first was swimming but seems to also trace boat routes.
I don't know how to explain that still.
Nor I. Let's just have some popcorn and enjoy the fall out I guess.
