How did the "captain's compass" get into the "Air-X marine wind
generator" thread?
Kind of annoying.

Doug, your newsreader or news serverr has scrambled your message
list. This thread is properly called "Captain's Compass".

I suggest to fix it you delete this group as subscribed, then
RE-subscribe, which will bring you several months' worth of messages.
Delete from the beginning to, say, the last month (Oct 30). This will
preserve all threads currently in play (likely that you are
following) and the NEXT time you download news group messages, you
should see that all messages are where they should be.

Don't bother unsubscribing and resubscribing.

Further up someone mentioned that they could view their LED based amp
output from the wind genny from their v berth and could guestimate
wind speed without getting out of bed. From there someone else
suggested checking a compass too, presumably to see if they had swung
at anchor. Hence the change of subject. At least they changed the
subject line so you can avoid reading it. That's not always done.

Anyway thread divergence at that point was inevitable. If you wait
long enough the discussion will turn to guns aboard (within reach of
the bunk of course).

Did I also mention that I have a RayMarine MaxiView display that I can
also see from the berth and I can program it to display any of the
instrument data such as wind/depth/course/speed/etc? :-)
