We’re back in the water and Charisma’s now officially in Berkeley! After seven long weeks Charisma is finally done.  Going down to the boatyard every day and project managing the guys working on her finally got things done.  We now have new rigging, halyards, lifelines, prop shaft, re-cut prop, bottom paint, replaced 20-year old holding tank hose, roller furling jib and new electronics.  The new nav instruments are great.  In the cabin, there’s my Garmin 396 showing graphically where we are plus coastal weather feeds and next to it is a B&G graphic display programmed to show boat speed, depth, and wind speed.  At the helm we now have depth, boat speed and wind speed on one side of the binnacle, wind direction in the middle and a GPS feed showing speed over ground (to compare to boat speed), course and distance to waypoint and estimated time to waypoint.  It’s all easily configured so we can change the feeds anytime we want from dozens of choices of data input.
