Pretty good trip, a little wind and not much rain. Hopefully it will continue. Hopefully the cat has gained sea legs by now.
How do you blog? Do most moorages have WiFi? Must have. You don't have DirecTV on the top of that mast do you? ;-)
How are those track maps generated?
Best,

The larger marinas have a marine WIFI system that you can buy into for a few days or subscribe to. Very expensive. In Friday Harbor I go to a book store, buy a mocha and get free WIFI "for customers only".
No, no Direct TV on the boat. Hard to keep aimed anyway.
I link the boats GPS into the laptop. The laptop has charting software that generates the track. There is a point every .05 nautical mile. I do a screen shot of the completed track(and chart) and manipulate it into a JPG file, and post it. The GPS has it's own chart, but it is small. I can also download the track from the GPS if I don't want to leave the laptop on. The GPS also is linked to the autopilot and to instruments in the cockpit. Those instruments only give me "numbers" that tell me information to stay on course and analyze currents and performance.
I have been posting tracks for abuot 10 months.
