Well the weather forecast was correct and the weather is rubbish again.
I decided to keep Sirenia at home for 1 more weekend.
I have splashed out on a Navman 5507 plotter, A C-Map Mega-wide chart and a NASA AIS engine.
I have spent today fitting and wiring all the bits.
I have Navman instruments and have managed to get the plotter to take their info over a data bus.
I can't check out the AIS at the moment as there don't seem to be any ships transmitting AIS data in the Cambridge area!
The old Lowrance plotter with its Chart chip are on e-bay.
Hope to get back on the water next weekend if the weather will be a bit more cooperative. |
