A pish state of affairs. On one cruise I had 6 weans all staring at their iDroids round the saloon table and the Dads were not much better either. Such a lonely place this virtual world.

I suppose I could check the tide through Cuan and sail round in less than two hours, but that's hardly convenient for most inhabitants . . .

There is wonderful mobile coverage here in West Yorkshire, it's not Seil though.

One of the benefits of living there (Seil) rather than a disadvantage, in my book anyhow.

Have you seen the FAQ?

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3299

Much of it is out of date in varying degrees but the youtube instructions are still OK I think.
