Stuck in St Martin.....grrrr
Posted On Tuesday, 9 March 2010 at at 20:58 by First MateWhen sailing unpredictable things happens all the time, like yesterday when we where ship shape and ready to take off in the sunset, and our second plotter broke. So here we are stuck in St Martin trying to find a new plotter, harder than we thought though. Couldn't find any that works with our navronics electronic charts. We will therefore use paper charts, pilot books and the electronic charts on our laptops and then we will be fine, somehow it'll work out! It is just so frustrating that all of a sudden everything seems to be breaking down! No sorrows though, we keep smiling! Hopefully we're off to BVI tomorrow!

Hej alle,
Når jeres plottere er gået sønder må I bruge en af jeres PC´er ombord. Hvis I ikke har mulighed for at overføre navitronic kortene til PC, så kan I downloade alle amerikanske kort både i raster- og vektorformat. Klik på: http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/staff/chartspubs.html og download Download
Raster Navigational Charts: NOAA RNCs®
Electronic Navigational Charts: NOAA ENCs®
og læg de to downloads i hver sin mappe
Download OpenCpn på http://opencpn.org og installer programmet installer kortene i kortfolderen og tilslut en GPS så får I verdens bedste navigationsprogram og kort derf er opdaterede.
De bedste hilsner
Harding
