Hello friends - been a while since I was on here. What's the best/ a good passage-planning app for Mac? I used to use Neptune Navigation's Passage Planner Plus, but I had to run a 'virtual machine' to make that Windows-based software run on a Mac. Now I can't be bothered. Yes, of course I...

Camping Mats | Sleeping Mats | Inflatable & Foam | Decathlon short cockpit bench? Static V Short Inflatable Sleeping Mat That kind of idea anyway.

I have a Racor 500-lookalike fuel separator/ filter before the secondary engine fuel filter. Just had unfortunate empty-tank run-out (a misreading fuel sensor had given me false confidence - that’s next on the list). Probably as a result of swirling dregs of tank, there was lots of black...

She has neither the education in climate (or any other aspect of) science, nor the experience of skippering, to be worth listening to on either topic.

I am delighted to hear others have had more, and less expensive, success than I did on this one. After three whistling kettles variously buckled or crumbled into rust dust on Belle Serene’s hob, I chucked money at the problem with this nuclear-bomb-proof specimen from the local Aga shop. On...

Perhaps it should be 0am and 0pm? The problem, as Richard has seen, is that we mark the head of our clock faces with the final and not the initial (zero) whole number. The Iranian radio operator was as confused about his compass rose as he was about his rights.

The very man. Sadly since deceased.

I’m afraid that is not true either, LG. Most harbours are defined in their Harbour Revision Orders to include a chunk of the sea outside, complete with a free map and red-line boundary for those who don’t like reading words.

Yes. This topic comes up every now and again. The situation is pretty much as follows (and from memory, so anyone please correct me on details): UK tidal waters are owned by the crown. Ie the crown owns the sea bed to the low-water mark You have a common-law right going back to Magna Carta...

Don’t want to confuse the topic, as Beaulieu is generally believed to have the historic right to charge for anchoring. The issues with Beaulieu were that - when you anchored in apparently the wrong place, they went well beyond their right to ask you to move and to charge you for anchoring...

After the event I wrote to the harbour master to inform her. They continue to close ranks and tell some quite obvious untruths, for example: - that the boatman had been right to charge me a swinging-mooring fee for my anchorage, on the ground that a buoy was the closest mooring allowed to...

Somewhat shocked this morning to be asked up the Beaulieu river for an anchoring fee by the lad in a dory - without a receipt. He told me he didn’t have receipts on him. How convenient: how about you go and get some and then come back; I’ll still be here. He said he couldn’t go back but could...

The OP doesn’t have AIS.

Not sure why you think you’d need a multiplexer for this purpose. Presumably your ST60 instruments talk to the C120 via Raymarine’s SeaTalk bus. The C120 has an NMEA output port. Take that to a simple NNEA-to-WiFi convertor at a third of the price of that multiplexing unit. Set the C120 and...
