The most common mistake sailing into the San Blas islands of Panama is arriving after dark. You navigate here by what you can see: the color of the water, the texture of the surface, the breaking water on the reef edge. And even the best charts have offsets, so your position on the chart can be out by 50 meters. The error is in the charts, not the electronics. Aboard Sophisticated Lady we run a Raymarine Axiom Pro 16.

Lithium vs lead acid boat batteries
A Redodo 12.8V 100Ah lithium battery against the lead acid battery it replaced in our Highfield dinghy. Nearly the same weight, 2 to 3 pounds heavier, with at least double the capacity. And you only really get to use about half of what's on a lead acid label. The full install and crank test are...
