Whats on your shopping list at the Excel?

[T_S]

Well I shall be looking at the hand held weather stations amongonst other things. Just curious to know what anyone else is intending to buy there?

A VHF/DSC radio.

 

[T_S]

Yes I have to look at buying one too Steve. Which do you have in mind?

 

[stevebrassett]

From what I've seen, the Navman 7200, but I want to get my sweaty mitts on a few before handing over any money.

 

[JOHNOO]

I am not going!

 

[T_S]

Yes the Navman is getting good write ups Steve.

 

[T_S]

Thats a pity.....then I spose you will be waiting for the Southampton to come around?

Boat heating, windlass and day dreaming of our future liveaboard.

New flares (ours are out of date on Friday), also a liferaft hopefully on a some form of a long term rental. Not that I am planning to need either of these in anger, just taking necessary precautions!

I have been using my 7200 since around October. Very pleased, works very well and easy to use.

Bought it from http://www.jgtech.com/shop3.htm

£199 now, bought mine for £219. Be surprised if you beat that at the boat show.

RYA Practice Nav. Tables and charts; Imray pilot for E.Aegean (If it's finally been published yet); Update for looseleaf UK Pilot; Somat to keep me neck warm; Book a Charter in the Med; Honda 2.3 outboard lock. That's about all I can carry on the train I reckon.

I've been keeping my eye on their site. I don't mind paying a few quid extra at the show just to get it my hands, but if I can't get it for less than about 210, then it'll be mail order.

A Guinness!!
or two!

At present I am using the RYA 'Electronic chart plotter' which was part of my Yachtmasters pack! Quite a good educational tool.

Last year Ian my cousin and myself sunk about three or four pints of bitter before going in! I now know the position of every bloody loo that is in there! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
