Our sailing friends came into the same bay as us yesterday and gave us their old chart plotter....! They replaced it with a newer model.

We’ve never had one aboard Pino. Redundancy is good. It’ll be good to have something a bit more rugged/waterproof than an old smart phone. We’ll try and it up soon.

Seems like Pino is where our friends go to get rid of their things.

I think because we make do with not having certain things, or repair broken things, or get them second hand whenever possible, ppl assume we can’t afford them. Being thrifty is often seen that way... I do wonder sometimes, cause it happens a lot.
I’m glad they are thinking of us though, but life was okay without these things too. We’ll use it cause we have it, but we rly had no plans to get one.

@rek i feel this, i always try to underestimate my material needs, mostly so i have more capacity to reduce waste as it appears (food/furniture/clothes/etc). and more often than not it works out for the better

@rek hopefully this never happens, but should both your phones be swepped away somehow (not that hard to imagine), you will be glad to have a navigator that's attached to the boat :) pretty cool to get free hand-me-downs!
