It’s Sunday 5 October today, and I’ve been back on the boat for a week already. Plenty of boat jobs have been done again, including yet more changes to the navigation “black box” space.

Since the deckhouse now runs entirely on B&G chartplotters with beta software, it seemed sensible to have a backup on a different system. That turned out to be an Orca Core2, together with the Orca app on the iPad (and the laptop and phone if need be). It’s an OK backup, but it doesn’t yet have the functionality of the real chartplotters. What is attractive is that you get charts worldwide, insofar as they have them. I’ll post a review at some point.
