If I recall correctly, there was an observer aboard who posts here. We have no
idea how many rocks were hit and not reported here.

How do you know the observer was there or even knows me. Note that I strangley
posted NO PICS of his visit! Odd, isn't it?

A chart kit is not a 'chart'. It's a scaled down version of a chart.
You said charts which means NOAA govt. charts. For example
the NOAA chart for Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands is numbered
25640 scale 1:326,856.L.I.S. would be 123__. Fill in the last
two numbers please

Another case of Booby lying?

S.Simon - a Captain with a complete set of real paper charts.

Let's us have their numbers please?

NOS numbers? I have the chart kit here. For which area?

My boat doesn't have any power at present, although
I'll probably want to add that somewhere down the line. Since the
marina has shore power, it would be good to have an idea of how
things connect up.

With such a small boat I wouldn't bother with this. Simply run an
extension cord for what you need. Ghost (My pearson 30) had a heavy
duty cord that ran right through a vent and that worked fine.
Alien has a pretty complex power system for such a small boat, but
the inverter was never installed.

I don't think I'd go as far as onboard mains power, but I'd very much like
to fit nav lights at least, so some sort of shoreside charging system would
be good. I'd rather think ahead and install a 12V system that's capable of
running some other kit further down the line (a depth sounder springs to
mind, and maybe a fixed VHF).
I guess it's natural to extrapolate and want to add an inverter to run the
laptop (though not essential - I'm unlikely to buy into all that electronic
chart stuff for the sailing I expect to do with this boat).

TV runs on DC along with it's built in DVD player.

I thought the laptop is used for playing DVDs as well?

In any case we were able to use the GPS for the whole trip.

Yeah Bob... sure you were! Bwahahahahahahahaaa!! You claimed the
whole trip was done by line of sight with only "spot checks" on the
GPS.

Nice job of contradicting yourself. Spot checks on the GPS on the
last day all day.

Ever heard of 'timeslicing'?

Sure we addressed it!
Suzanne said, "Baby, don't forget the batteries when we get to the
store." I said, "No way, bunny bear!"
And the rest is history.

I'll rephrase my comment...

You already did. You also admitted to not resolving the error once you
noticed it.

Poor mooron. To much drinking. We forgot to BUY them in Port Jeff. I
forget to BRING them on city Isle.

You didn't forget to bring them, you lost them.

| Thanks!

But you stated you did only "spot checks" through the entire trip because
you forgot to buy batteries .. which now you claim to have bought but lost.
The best was when you claimed a cross track error of 1 mile... which would
require a waypoint... which you claim you didn't enter because you were
doing "spot checks" to confirm a plot that you claim wasn't done because the
navigation was all line of sight.

Cripes Bob... do try and get your story line straight... this yarn of your's
is unravelling in a hurry.
