Update on Miss Cecile

[auguste]

Was down in Virginia Beach over 2 weeks ago and spent a week helping Dale who is doing the electronic install - - - I then came back to Canada and dale continued working on the elctronics making sure everything was working great

For those who do not rememeber it is Furuno NavNet3 system - - - one 12 inch display - - - one 8 inch display - - - digital fish finder black box - - - 12 kw radar - - - AIS system - - - Sirus weather - - - two Icom M604 VHF - - - auto pilot - - - new 23 ft antennas - - - a couple of other minor gadgets - - - and then I reached my electronics maximum budget for a few / many months - - - time to get fishing

We decided to go the entire DEMA 2000 route and not 183 . . . so there was a learning curve

Well I just talked to Dale and everything seems to be working - - - just a few minor glitches (talking to Furuno) and trying to connect to an older transducer until I haukl the boat and get a new transducer

Hope to move the boat down to Pirates Cove this weekend

Yes we took pics of the install . . . and will take more pics this weekend . . . and will post the entire trip
