Roger, thanks for the info. Your blog is interesting reading, we might well pass you by one of these days. I notice your boat started at Plymouth, although I live in Northern California, that's were I am from, my brother still sails there.
Did you put Raymarine Radar on your boat? How do you keep you batteries charged?
I know all about battery acid, I once experienced a aircraft battery explode with a dozen of us watching, the sole of my shoe fell off a few days later. Clean up must be good, I wouldn't want any of it to come in contact with keel bolts!
At the moment I have ordered a USB GPS to go with MacENC to sail the boat from where it is to our marina across SF Bay, no problem. I also have iNavX for backup, but I want RADAR for the foggy bay days and nights....And I want a system that will interface to the mac for planning, a plotter/display that I can see underway, AIS and a sounder.
I am attracted to Standard Horizon and Furuno, but figuring out the integration is a nightmare, that's why I was hoping that one of the more knowledgeable members here might be able to help..hint hint.
