Horizon.BBC.9.10. Thursday Stories of MonsterWaves.Facts n Myths.
In connection. www.naval.com has some scary giant wave photographs.

Skinflints may also want to look at www.coastguardassoc.demon.co.uk/chartplotter. for couple of pages of benefits of
"dedicated plotters" vs "laptop cheapo gps and a bit of software".

And here is the weekend weather..

It's refreshing to get a factual report giving a real comparison between different techniques without bending towards advertisers as the normal reports in some magazines do.
I had to remove /chartplotter to access the coastguard site.

Yes I was'nt going to mention removing chartplotter to access coastguard site as well as the
debacle on the naval.com site, oh dear oh dear oh dear Oldgit would'nt trust you wiv my
taxi radio.

The coastguard site report on the chartplotter / PC debate very interesting though, confirmed
for me the correct choice of my chosen system, vector charts on software on PC cant beat it.
