Only a little order this time but one with important consequences for the blog...
Along with some heat shrink tubing and, importantly, heat shrink crimp connectors, I've ordered a GPS data logger and photo tagger. This will solve the problem of the Raymarine plotter not
recording track points with a date and time stamp (thus rendering them
all but useless) and the tendency for smartphone apps to trip each other up
It also overcomes the lack of geo-tagging on the compact camera as the provided software will use the time stamp on a set of photos to geo-tag them using the track log from the logger.
It's a handy little widget that will sit quietly out of sight somewhere doing its thing and it also provides a GPS position source for the laptop as a backup chart plotter if the main plotter was to fail
I resisted the temptation to buy lots of other toys!
