Shopping trip to Florida

Several people were interested in the list of things we get. Nothing big, just a long list of items we found we missed and couldn't easily get underway:

• used D100 Nikon plus lens (we always had two cases plus lenses. One case died in a wet dinghy ride)
• Navionics chip 34XG = Gold Polynesia, (we mostly do PC based navigation, this is our backup chart for the Raymarine chartplotter/radar)
• Navionics card reader (so we can use above chip with PC programs, without using the radar/chartplotter)
• RG213 50Ohm low loss coax cable 50ft (for our new, used (got it for free in Grenada), active weatherfax antenna (FX-5) mounted on the arch)
• Balmar, 6 - Series Alternator Offshore Repair Kit 7060, Balmar transient spike protector, 12V (=spare parts for our 120A alternator)
• 2x waterproof mouse (for our PC based navigation, they have a limited lifetime)
• 2x Adesso waterproof keyboard (for our PC based navigation, they have a limited lifetime)
• waterproof 500GB HD (another backup harddrive died on us, this one is shock proof and waterproof, they say)
• better headset for Skype and SSB communication
• 2x 92mm, 12v computer fan (the compartment for the 2kVA inverter needs some extra ventilation
• USB stick 16gb
• Daiwa SWR meter CN-101 (we have a RadioShack SWR meter, it's OK, but I liked this one on Elysium)
• coax antenna switch (be able to switch between backstay antenna and some experimental dipole)
• programming cable for ICOM M802 + programming software for ICOM M802 (certain functions (speech compression) can only be accessed by a dealer, or if you have the right cable and program)
• BEP VSR as battery combiners (today we have battery isolators based on diodes. this causes extra voltage losses, makes the alternator work up to 10% harder)
• foot pump for dinghy (on sale)
• Expansion of our wireless internet toolkit: Ubiqity bullet2, POE injector (spare), N female to N female cable 6ft, 9db antenna, Ubiquity Nano station
• UV and polarizing filters for several photo lenses
• Polarized sunglasses
• Daddle-sauce from St Augustine
• 2 more Hella turbo fans for the salon. To often, like on passage, we have to close up the boat and it is too hot to sleep. These fans help and don't draw too much power.
• B&G instrumentation: Fix backlight control in autopilot display (was always bright, too bright at night), repair wind board in B&G computer, test and recalibrate mast-head-unit PCBs (one is spare)
