I'm not a boater at all, but I will admit to being a bit envious of your hobby (lifestyle?).

Over the past several months I completely redid the electronics on my boat. This includes: new VHF remote microphone new antenna new wind sensor new gps new fluxgate compass Battery charger and monitor central control unit that allows everything to communicate Chartplotter four new mini screens that show sensor data (water depth and temperature, boat speed and direction, wind speed and direction) Running all the wires was sooo much fun! Still need to run the wires from the engine to the new screens, but that information is going to older analog dials so it could wait a bit. Next I will get an AIS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Identification_System and Sirius. The AIS lets me know where other boats are, and when I have my number, broadcasts it to other vessels so they can 'see' me. Sirius provides the first world wide source of weather, and getting weather information has been spotty at best before this. Radar (lets me see clouds and ships in line of sight), desalinator, solar panels, and water powered generator should be added before I start island hopping. If people are interested, I can try to get pictures uploaded from my phone. Iphones don't play well with PCs. |

Would be interested to see! Also, dropbox makes getting pictures from your phone to your PC really, really easy. And iirc, you get a free extra 3gb with the first 3 gb of pictures you transfer in this way. |
