Re: La maison du sextant

I now believe "La Maison du sextant" was a repair shop and they merely put their label on various sextants they inspected or repaired. That would explain why you can't really find anything about...

How are the coral reefs holding up in the Pacific? Is there a lot of dead coral and bleaching going on? What are some good spots that still have healthy corals?

Re: Bahamas drones

Thanks for the information. I wonder if these requirements also apply to the DJI Mavic Mini that weighs less than 250g (8.82oz)?
I didn't see anything about a weight limit so far.

Re: La Vagabonde's crossing

If you keep quoting the haters' posts, blocking them is less effective. Consider adding them to your ignore list instead.
