Hi Tillergirl,

Thanks as always for your commitment to making the life of all East Coast sailors so much easier. This year, perhaps Wild Thyme will be treated to a new download of Garmin charts to suit her plotter - the current one is getting aged and the number of changes you have advised in it's lifetime is getting a bit much to remember. Probably time to go for edition 5 of Dick and Garth's 5th edition of East Coast Pilot as well, although I enjoy kidding Dick that my 1956 edition of East Coast Pilot still serves very well.

Edition 5 isn't bad at all. Quite an investment in some new 'copter' images which are good. You've got to get it even if you know the waters off the back of your hand. I hope Dick and Garth do better than me. I understand I have lost a reader to the virus.

Patience Roger. Once in the past, on account of work, I couldn't start my season until well into June and I still had a good time.
