Today we will see how to AVOID your OUTBOARD, or the auxiliary, or any VALUABLE accessory of our boat from being STOLEN. Because we are going to see how, in a very simple way, we can make our boat know that things and people are on board and that it notify us when something is missing or that it is ahead and do things like […]
In today’s post we are going to see how to give an old computer a new life. This will allow us, for example, to turn it into a real cheap alternative to the Raspberry Pi, but it will also be a good complement to be able to use it as a navigation plotter on the boat, or as Radar for boats and airplanes, in the […]

All WITHOUT the need […]

A very simple and useful invention that for about 20 euros will allow us to anchor with much more criteria. In fact, in the video you have information about the correct anchoring and all the details about the operation and […]

All of that with plenty of testing, crashes, and good humor. […]
