                  If the Poo Museum were in America people would just leave poop in random places to see if anyone noticed like every day. We can’t have anything nice here.

                              @Giles that's pretty cool that your cam is hooked up to the AIS.

                                @Tago-Mago I thought one of those boats was named "Opeth" for a second there.

                                    I can also select chart objects:

                                    image.jpg

                                    Which is a game changer in low vis and at night. It also allows me to “see” around corners and see a boat that is behind another larger boat.

                                    It saved us big time in <100 metre vis fog in Chanel du Four coming home from Brittany. We had a boat 60 metres away that I never actually saw with my naked eye, but I knew where it was, what direction it was moving in and what speed is was doing.

                                      What does the tech use to measure the other boats from @Giles ?

                                      Curious whether this tech could be used to measure the distance of other things (eg people) or if there is something in the boat or about its structure.

                                        @Giles totally agreed. When we sailed from Tenerife to Lanzarote we had a night watch but keeping track of smaller vessels was made much easier by AIS. Also super useful to maintain safe distance and practice collision avoidance, especially at night at high sea

                                          I think AIS should be mandatory...

                                          Fishing boats are always turning theirs off, it's fucking dangerous. So I run rader too....
