Rose Island Shrimp Boil 2010

22 May 2010 

Few can combine shrimp, mussels, clams, sausage, onions, carrots, and potatoes with the perfect seasoning in a common pot and get it all cooked properly. Janice and Wayne Weller did it again this year to perfection at the Rose Island Shrimp Boil. Many thanks to them and all the others that made this event a great kick-off to the 2010 series of five star rendezvous.

Charts and Navigation

21 December 2009 

UPDATE - System development continues. We now have every chart from Ft. Meyers Beach FL to Tartan's Landing on the system along with every waypoint between. Real-time navigation is tested as well as downloads of waypoints to a backup GPS. Every mile has been surveyed via Google Earth with the routes converted to kml files. Total cost to date: $0.00.

The LSPS web staff is working on an article about using software and NOAA free charts for planning and a complete on-water navigation system. One is absolutely free. Working models of several are ready for field testing on an up coming  trip from the Cape Fear River to the West coast of Florida.

Requiring only a laptop computer, an inexpensive GPS, and access to the Internet during development, any boater can duplicate systems formally available only on million dollar yachts.

Two chapters now available
