One for the geeks

Briefly, we're still in Bundaberg - it's blowing about 25kt here in harbour. It doesn't look like we'll get away until Sunday, so we'll probably go right on to the Keppel Islands or Rosslyn Bay in one passage.

So, pottering around in port, I took the time to work out how to transfer data from my chartplotter to the PC, and convert it to Google Earth format. I've taken a quick look at the tracks, and can't make much sense of them, but the waypoints are clear enough... the last four are for a trip we haven't made yet. Also, I didn't start plotting waypoints until Port Stephens, so for the very start of the trip there aren't any. Anyway, here's the file, which you ought to be able to simply open in Google Earth:

Nice :)

But you seem to end in the middle of no-where :)

The next trick is to do the same with your photos of the trip...

And a lovely middle of nowhere it is! The chartplotter isn't on all the time, so it doesn't catch everything. And yes, geotagged photos coming soon!
