Re: AIS not visible on MarineTraffic app

Same thing here, it showed up right after I spent way too much time trying to figure out what was wrong. Just leave it on for a few days. On the bright side, I learned a lot about AIS and the...

Re: Hammocks cinched to roller reefing jib

I didn't like the idea of putting stress on the jib furling extrusion either, so I built something that looks like it is mounted on the jib but actually doesn't even touch it: I took a mini chain...

Re: Legal to padlock vessel to public landing

Re: Legal to padlock vessel to public landing

Betsy DeVos’ 163 ft boat was untied in 2018 by some kids. Crew was sleeping aboard. Only a few thousand dollars worth of damage. This happened in Ohio.

Re: US Coast Guard AIS data validation service

Re: US Coast Guard AIS data validation service

I am in the USA, you always have an option to set any unit up yourself. However some vendors only advertise a price that includes. You can always get a better price for the same unit somewhere else...
