Hi Guys,
Apologies as I'm new to this forum and if what I'm asking has been asked before my bad. I'm helping some friends to do a yacht delivery next weekend and as i'm probably the most computer savvy of the group they've asked me to look into how the trip could be aided through the use of a laptop. Mine is a mac book pro and i'm happy to take it along. Unfortunately, I haven't sailed any bigger than my windsurfing kit in four years and clearly a lot has happened since then. The current set up on the boat as far as i know is as follows:
Raymarine ST60 Tridata, wind, RL70c radar, ST6001 autopilot with remote, and a RL70c bhartplotter at the chart table. ICS Nav 6 Navtex at the chart table.
So what i'm asking is basically, what should i be looking at purchasing and installing to make the best use of the mac book pro for a 4 day yacht delivery from england to the south of france, given the kit that's on the boat already.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.
