Making More Work

Now it isn't as if we didn't have enough work to do on the boat in a short space of time but now we have just made ourselves some more.

We had no intention of upgrading Naughty-Cal's navigation equipment this year, after all she has a very quiet year in the making. But when an offer came up on a ex display Raymarine A75 well, we just couldn't pass up on the offer. It was £200. Bargain of the century.

We have had to buy a few bits to go with it. The sun cover was missing so we have got one for £20 and this model didn't have in built sonar and down vision so we have had to buy a seperate module and transducer for that. But we are still well under the RRP for the package. In fact less than half of what it would be bought as a package from a retailer.

We have also found a great deal on some Navionics Platinum Plus UK and Holland charts at a massive reduction on RRP with 18 months free updates. So all in all we have picked up a great deal but now we have to get around to fitting it all up before the boat is put back in the water!
