Technology is coming alive on Nati

One of the nice things with having the ability to carry a few more "things" is that we can actually find out what is happening in the world..........if we want to.

SU vs. UNC Charlotte

Yes, that is our iPad and we are watching the SU game on board Nati and it is coming to us "live"!  Now we didn't start in the cockpit but when we went in to Alabama Jacks to watch the game they didn't have a TV on so we bought our conch fritters and went back to the boat.  During the game the rain and wind came in from the east and of course during the last 5 minutes we started moving backwards.  So to fix that we decided to move over to the east side of Barnes Sound and watch the game at the same time.

This next picture shows how we are getting our weather faxes....

The Sony SSB receiver is tied to a NOAA fax station and is downloading, via audio link, the information to the iPad!  I'm not saying we have it perfected yet but we are working on it.  Can you see Florida??

Now I have to do is figure out how to read the darn thing!!!
