Sea Trial

I fit the new chartplotter in the extreme starboard foreward corner of the cockpit. It all goes OK but we find the wood underneath the seats a bit soft. Something to look at next winter. Its spliced into the power lead to the auto-helm using gell-filled crimps. Pretty cool devices. The Garmin came with some of these for signal connections but I'm given a larger power one by a friend at work.

After a little time the receiver puts us exactly on our berth. Both the map and the gps are that good!

We sail up the Stour and back again and every bouy is right where it should be. I'm happy.

The scary thing is even the depths are about right. Too tempting. We must not start to believe it will always be this accurate.
