Open-Source Navigation & Boat Monitoring System: Your Questions Answered!
As hurricane season comes to a close, we are savoring our last moments here in Grenada!⛵We swam in the crystal clear water, made cocktails with fresh coconut, lime, and local rum, then waited out a rainstorm before sitting down to answer your questions about our open-source navigation and monitoring system. We discussed the hardware we use, the limitations of the system, and how you can do it yourself! We ended the day with some homemade ice cream and a beautiful sunset. 🌅
