Well the old Navman3100 stuff is out and the Tacktick goes in tomorrow evening. Looks like I'll be mounting both transmitters in the locker just forward of the nav station. Hopefully the NMEA 0183 v2 data from my Navman Tracker 5600 chart plotter will play nice with the Tacktick T-122 NMEA transmitter which runs on the 0183 v2.3 standard. Hopefully the moment of truth will be tomorrow.

Also the bottom is getting wet sanded with 600 grit (lots of VC Offshore left so on the advice of the boat yard we are only sanding and not recoating), deck recoring work is happening on the port primary to genoa track area, inboard of the anchor locker and around the port side chain plate. A new propeller is being fitted, as is a spreader through bar kit and new kiwigrip non-slip is being painted on. Fairing around the strut is being touched up as well as a couple of small blisters on the keel.
