The Sailing Experience - New Navigation Page

I am excited about the new Navigation Page on The Sailors Place. It was developed as a result of reading an article sidebar in the May, 2006 issue of "Sail" magazine. I downloaded the free Computer Chart Plotter software (SeaClearII) and all of the charts I needed for San Francisco Bay, San Pablo Bay, Suisun Bay and the Northern California Delta.

I have been using SeaClearII to plan my trip to the Delta and also to update and check all of the Waypoints in my Garmin GPS 76 that I hook up in front of the Viking Lady's steering wheel.

SeaClearII is not a fancy program, but, heck, it is FREE. Can't ask for a better price and it does what I want it to do and much more!

If you have not done it yet, check out the information to get free charts and free chart plotter software on The Sailors Place (http://www.the-sailors-place.com/Navigation.htm).

The charts are exactly like the NOAA full size charts on your computer screen -- you can zoom in and out as you wish to see more or less detail
