Comments on: Mission Bay Photo Shoot http://kosmos.liveflux.net/blog/2006/09/26/mission-bay-photo-shoot/ Kosmos is Greek for world. It is the name of our boat, and the scope of our travel ambitions.

I feel, that you both have a very nice time on your own boat. I have some questions to you: 1. how high is the tide in your area? 2. what are the two lines and which function have the lines from the front (BB and StB) to the top of the mast? 3. You have very high (long) antenna, is this important? Here in Europe we dont have this long antenna on a boat. 4. Pls can you repead your installed navigation program? All the best, Peter Hi Eric and Chris,

Tide in San Diego varies by about 2.2 meters. This basin is man made, and has a rather steep drop. At low tide in this basin it is still 5.5 meters deep. 2. I believe you are refering to the steel wires that stabilize the deployed paravanes. 3. The SSB antenna needs to be 7.5 meters to work. Due to the paravanes the only place to put it was on top of the pilothouse. The VHF only needed to be 2-3 meters. We decided to make the antennas match in size and it gives extended range for our VHF. 4. For electronic charts we are using a Furuno 1943 radar/chartplotter with a C-MAP chart card. We intend to get various MaxSea modules to also run charts and radar on laptop computers. See the bottom of http://kosmos.liveflux.net/blog/our-boat/ for a list of the installed electronics. We would like to add a satellite compass, AIS, secondary radar, and wireless mic VHF. 1. Tide in San Diego varies by about 2.2 meters. This basin is man made, and has a rather steep drop.
