Re: iPad navigation program

I thank you for your thoughtful responses. I guess the answer to my question is that there is no program which will display the Active Captain info onto a chart other than Garmin.

iPad navigation program

For several years I have been satisfied with my iPad used as a chart plotter. I have Garmin BlueChart and Active Captain and use a bluetooth GPS receiver called a Garmin Glo. The BlueChart cost $50 and the AC was free. Right now a friend is attempting to replicate my set-up and found that about two ...

Re: Irma

We keep Flexible Flyer in Burnt Store Marina, Punta Gorda. A few days ago this was directly in the cross hairs of a very dangerous storm. Without boring anybody with our options and preparations I'll just say Catherine was working in Poland and I evacuated to a vacant house in Alva. As I sat in the ...

Re: 2017 Bahamas Cruise

We certainly enjoyed meeting fellow owners at the rendezvous and share their interest in the Bahamas. Traveling in a group also has advantages. However, during the conversation much was made of long-term moorings, restaurants, internet, and swimming pools. With all due respect to personal preference...

Raw water pump

I have recently purchased a PDQ with 100 hp Yanmars. I attempted to pull an impeller in order to be sure of having a spare on board. What a job! I have read some of the comments posted to this forum in the past which confirm the difficulty of accessing the pump. I know there are other options to usi...
