Met up with Roger Upham yesterday on a gloriously sunny but cold afternoon, on Equinox and spent a happy 30 minutes working out where best to install the Navtex and Hifi systems. He is, while fitting these, happy to check all the instruments - Radio DSC, GPS connections and the Raymarine Wind, Depth and Speed display heads and sensors; while he has the boat's gizzards exposed. It makes total sense to have an expert uncover any potential weaknesses in them now rather than non-technical-me, deal with a failure at a critical moment later on!
A 2010 Reeds Nautical Almanac together with a coastal flare pack, to compliment my existing pack of rockets, flares and smoke canisters, was purchased. These together with an emergency aerial made quite a hole in my wallet! The Almanac, seems to get fatter ever year and carries a serious weight penalty; but it's a 'must have'!
