So all you GARMIN worshippers...a little problem. Friend has a Garmin chartplotter 4012 with a problem, it suddenly stopped displaying charts, just produces a indistinct fuzzy background map. Receives GPS signals and card chart works in other chartplotter(s) and software updates no use...

Visitor buoys busy. Enjoyed a pint and a Pizza in the Admirals Arm.

RCC club plans to visit Ramsgate late BH weekend. Rumours of damage to commercial moorings and commercial craft relocated to leisure moorings and shortage of space for visitors at mo... ????? Always Dover as alternative ?

A small rib carrying what appeared to be a considerable quantity of highly inebriated youths, all shouting merrily away at the top of their voices, came past our moorings yesterday, while towing some other oik on a ringo. Not really a problem other than they were going flat out and causing...

Returning from a recent cruise , bothered to check T&Ps. No oil pressure on one engine. :eek: Spent night wondering just how much an engine rebuild will cost. Spent following day grovelling around in engine compartment and dismantling dashboard etc. Swap pressure senders and oil pressure gauges...

Seems to have lost its charts, no details , just fuzzy image of general area on the screen no matter how much you zoom in or out. Diving into the menu to the "satellite" screen..... no satellites detected. The "Mushroom" is functioning as another plotter and a radio also connected and also...

Weather not promising on Friday and a few faint hearts, no names no pack drill but mainly Broom owners , whimped out. However the weather did clear up and after Aylesford the sun did sort of appear. Remarkably little rubbish in the river so the winter floods do have their uses. Yellow boards at...

Paddle Steamer "Medway Queen" is celebrating the centenary of her launching , Rochester Cruising Club was approached to enquire if we would like to get involved. We proposed a short cruise from our moorings to the present location of the Medway Queen at Gillingham Pier to view the work...

Biggish event on Saturday. Taking a few RNA folks on quick trip out in company with 5 other boats. Popped down to boat which fortunately is only 10 mins away to check water and alcohol levels. On a whim, decided to start engines, one refused to start. Expecting the worst did some checks...

Booking details now released on ATYC website. Association of Thames Yacht Clubs Bit of a shame boats cannot go in on the Friday, an opportunity would certainly have been of interest to boats who moor elsewhere than on the non tidal Thames. West India might be only a couple of hours away from...

Two cruises planned one to Burnham on Crouch and one to St Kats. The forecasted weather on Friday firmly put paid to the Burnham trip. An OK location in summer but not mid winter. However, OG and the select few who planned to go St Kats were little more resolute. Friday morning produced a...

£20 each or £30 for two. :) Suspect Collection on?Ly.

Helped to deliver a sub 30ft sailing boat today, no actual sailing, just using an engine too small to power a decent generator. 2.2 knots against the tide. First time ever aboard a sailing yacht and an experience hope never ever to repeat. Absolutely impossible to clamber forward on the boat...

Has spotted a Fairline 29 for sale locally and has asked for my opinion(s). Comments and suggestions welcome. Will be mainly used in non tidal waters but with occassional jaunt beyond the lock . Just two folks skipper and crew. Have warned him till blue in the face about the perils of old...
