The passage planning tables in the third edition are wholly NEW! Much simpler, much more information for planning and shows all the results without any 'workings'. They show INSTANT results. All you have to do is compare and choose.
The River Colne (upper reaches)
Переглядів 3463 роки тому
This is a trip up the River Colne, Essex. The idea was to go right up to Colchester but we had been delayed re-fueling earlier so high water turned before we reach the Hythe (Colchester). I confess I had not tended to create a video but since I had left camera running and am trying to learn the video software I have added it. The villages of Rowhedge and Wivenhoe have attractive watersides (at ...

Approaching the Tide Rip
Переглядів 7793 роки тому
This is a video shot during a survey of the SW Sunk swatchway in the middle of the Thames Estuary showing the tide rip caused by the flood tide of the Barrow Deep squeezing the flood tide through the swatchway. All this on a windless day. Please ignore the date on the video on the corner. I had not reset it on the camera: it was taken on 27th May, 2021

Good video, I would like to know if the keys has backlight? Thank you.
Apologies for the delay. I was on a plane most of today: Yes, the front buttons are backlit. Brief press of the power on/off button brings up the screen and brightness adjustments. Keypad brigthtness is not very bright so not easy to see in daylight but show in the dark.
Thank you Roger. This book will be very helpful with my passage planning.
This model is actually better than the controller from Raymarine EV-1, there you must manually confirm that you want to go to the next waypoint, there's no way around it; that is, if you actually make it working in the first place because Raymarine uses deliberately non-standard N2K commands so usual chartplotter will not be able to control it (you only get error messages from the pilot). I have a few questions regarding your KAP866: Does the display and buttons have a backround illumination? If so, can it be set? Does it have N2K or only NMEA0183? Is it waterproof for use on the open deck?
Hi Alan. The display can be adjusted for brilliant and contrast. The buttons do not light but there is sufficient light reflecting from the screen. Adjusting the display gives full night time light. Setting the display is a short press of the Power button. Then select by pressing and rotating the round button. Only 0183, no N2K without a converter. And I regret it is not for open deck.
Thank you...
Thank you Roger and Alan Most informative and useful video. Very clear and concise . John Meldrum . Cork.

clear and simple demostration for updating autopilot firmware... thank you very much
Great video by Roger. Best explanation I have seen of these excellent chart plotters.
it is an excellent detail explanation of this plotter. it collects and present all navigation data in one unit simply. thanks to Roger to give us this good video on how to use this plotter. it is very useful video indeed.
Thanks for the nice comments. I am at heart a paper chart chap having learnt before GPS become available but the KM strikes me as particularly easy to operate. Best regards
I have found my previous edition of the 'Crossing the Thames Estuary' book (and associated website) a fantastic resource for sailors in this interesting and challenging area. This latest edition looks to make it even more informative and user friendly. An impressive achievement. Thank you, Roger, for all your hard work and initiative in creating, developing and updating something so useful for us East Coast sailors.
Thanks. The comments are appreciated and makes the work worthwhile
That’s a brilliant simplification of the original tables, and a very clear video. Thankyou Roger!
Thanks Mike
Excellent explanation, will be hugely useful. Thanks!
Thanks. I hope you enjoy the book and find it useful.
Thank you
