Some of you were asking about a trip we are planning. Here is Bonnie. 38' Steel Roberts. Exciting times ahead.
One question: Does anyone have the Maxsea software for sale?
Has anyone connected it with a Furuno Plotter?

I posted a question about nav systems a while back to 'get north on'.
Since then we have purchased Bonnie. Plan to leave Perth in 2011 and do the Kimberly, Indo, Thailand, Maldives, funk out with some pirates in the Red Sea, then the Med.
Two year circumnavigation is planned.
Just my wife, the dog and me.
Looking forward to everyones help in the coming months/years.

I brought a Furuno Chartplotter. Should I also get a Radar or AIS? Can only afford one of them (unless a win one of these damm scratchie tickets)

Comar AIS is fairly cheap and easily integrates with your laptop if you use Seaclear2 or any of the other decent nav systems. Radar is nice, always nice to have a picture to consult when closing land, wont stop ships running into you though. Not that expensive but a bit of a power hog. I would go AIS reciever transponder.
