How far he is from the dock, if there's any obstructions, how he'sĭoing with the wind, etc. We wear them while docking and I am able to tell Tim Anchoring is a calm, professionalĪccomplishment. Gear and how much power, when to stop the boat, and when to back on To steer the boat and in what direction, when to go into and out of
With the headsets, weĬan have a casual conversation about anchoring sites, how far I need If we were to use hand signals, he would have to stand upīetween each signal in order for me to see him. Since installing the dodger, and with theĭinghy on our foredeck, I can't see or hear Tim at all whileĪnchoring. Having headsets on board our boat has been one of theīest decisions we made. I've done a review on these on our review tab, but I'll Place goes to the communication headsets we bought, the Simultalk24G. Can't say enough good about this generator!
#DOES MACENC CHARTS GENERATOR#
We charge all our electronics on the boat 110 while the generator runs. We bought the EU2000i Companion model which allows us to plug our shore power cord into it directly and run our 110 items off of the boat plugs. If you watch, you can sometimes get the generator on sale for under $900 and to be quite honest, it would take us more years than we have left to cruise to use enough gasoline to equal the cost of solar on our boat. Otherwise you have to fill it every day which is a bit of a nuisance and a safety issue on a rocking boat. We did buy a hose kit from eBay that allows us to run it off of our 3 gallon tank which has helped immensely. It's lightweight and easy to handle and fits directly in front of our binnacle to be tied down when traveling and on our rear cockpit seat when we're anchored or moored. The generator is quiet, so much so in fact that our neighbors have repeatedly told us they never even knew we had it running. It uses just a couple pints of gasoline per day and charges our batteries in a couple hours.

(I can't believe I forgot this in the original post).We didn't have time or money to install solar panels so our primary charging is through the Honda Generator. We have done a 14 hour day, checking the charts periodically,Īnd have not come close to running out of charge on them.īest of Show is really tied with our Honda Generator. The batteries in the iPads last a very long One iPad in the cockpit and the other one on the 12V charger so that Garmin is that if you have the measuring pins on the screen you can't We use Active Captain all the time for bridge info,Īnchorage info, tides and currents. In addition, it integrates withĪctive Captain when you're offline, so we can see all the information Garmin charts seem to be more up to date and as a result the depthsĪnd obstructions seem more accurate.
#DOES MACENC CHARTS SOFTWARE#
There is a bug in the software and they are aware of it and areįixing it but it will be a while till they release the fix. The one thing it does badly is to keep a track over midnight. It also has a better measuringįunction to measure the distance to a destination and a better route
#DOES MACENC CHARTS HOW TO#
Garmin so we assume it's not there, although if anyone knows how to Has a projected course line option which we can't seem to find in The Navionics tracking is better andĬan integrate with Google Earth so we can post it on this blog. Like about Garmin so we tend to keep them both loaded and compareīack and forth while sailing.
South you go the worse it gets, so I'm told, although we don't haveĪre certain things we like about Navionics, and certain things we Navionics does ok in the Abacos, but the farther The Garmin here in the Bahamas because the Explorer charts are much The Navionics has worked well in the States, but you need Have the 3G model, because that's the only one that has a standalone Which are loaded with Garmin Bluechart and Navionics. We have two of the 3G gen 2 models, both of I have no association with, or benefit from, any of the vendors.Īny question, the best thing we decided to do was to use our iPadsįor primary navigation. Most of the items we have reviewed before, and I've linked to the reviews, the rest I just linked to amazon or a similar site for reference. Like wading through it all at once, there's a link in the sidebar so Post on that because I thought some other people might also want to I was recently asked by a friend who's preparing to cruise whatĮquipment and supplies we had found useful and what we would leaveīehind now that we've been cruising for 6 months. (Post was edited 4-19-14 to include the Honda Generator which I somehow completely forgot!)
