I will ask a local marine shop what they think and then decide.

I had a cover made for me by a place in Sidney. It was a custom job though and not too cheap...

They say they won't, but I am trying to contact the manager to see if we can get in. So, if you would like to join us Friday at Fish on 5th, please let me know in this forum or by PM

I am thinking of adding a SIMRAD EP60R to my Lowrance HDS8 system to monitor fuel usage as I am sure I am being quite wasteful...

So here is a pretty lengthy update: (let me know if you have questions or other suggestions!) --------------------------------------------------------- Sidney C-Brat Gathering September 6th-8th 2013 We now have 19 boats and a couple of “boatless” folks planning to come – Monica and I are...

Great to have you join us! Thus brings us up to 19 boats at the moment! I have just been in touch with West marine and the marina and will post an update later today.

Just got back on Saturday night. Will be posting a full report soon I hope!

On my way home from a 12 day trip to Kyuquot and the Broughtons. Will post more details tomorrow probably.

Just came in to Kyuquot and have wifi for a few minutes . Weather has been poor but we have had fun. Pretty damp with condensation in the cdory. InReach has been pretty good. I like the 2 way limited communication. More in a day or so.

That would be great. It will be good to test the system. I should be out of email contact in an hour or so for a few days I expect! I usually just use x 2 and then take a bit off. Or just use my 1.85 times tables! :-)

Just saw Capital Sea heading south on the inland island highway between Courtenay and Campbell River. It is amazing how C-dorys jump out now that we have one!

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I probably won't be able to switch to imperial measurements until after the trip. (though, despite my British origin I am a big fan of the metric system). If I use the device without the phone, it defaults to 10min track intervals. I was planning to do a...

I am going to be testing out my inReach satellite communicator over the next two weeks as we explore Kyuquot Sound and the Broughtons with Natural C-lection. As far as I can tell, the plan I have at the moment allows me unlimited tracking points and up to 250 messages in the month of August. The...

Here is my last reply from SPOT - which does not help with the earlier part of your trip... -------------------

Oh, and Sam, I got in touch again with SPOT and asked them about data older than 30 days, and apparently it is "gone". I have told them that that is not very satisfactory!

I just noticed that the August picture on the c-brats calendar was very appropriate. None other than Retriever in Glacier Bay! :)

I'd love to see the plot of your last 30 days. I have asked them if there is a way to get data more than 30 days old. (I am sure they have it!)... PS, you are getting much better mileage than I have been getting. I seem to have been averaging about 75% of yours with my twin 50s... Sorry to...

I just got this message back from SPOT: (It looks like you can only get the last 30 days of Data...) Dear Michael, Thank you for contacting SPOT, the world's first GPS satellite messenger. The MY GPS LOCATIONS tab of your online SPOT account will maintain data for up to 30 days, to view...

Sam, I just saw on the main SPOT device management page that one can view the last 30 days of tracking and other messages. It also looks like you can download them as a GPX or KML file. If you want, I would be happy to convert your last 30 days into a GPSVisualizer map like the ones I use on my...

great! That makes 15 of us!
