There is a good chart of the Yaquina Bar on the second page of Oregon's pamphlet on Yaquina Bay Bar Hazards.

See if you can delete the entry and start again.

You can also make additions to AC directly out of the app, but it's a little more complicated than the website.

If you have an iPhone, it will run on that, too. Even with the small display, it's frequently useful. Incidentally, Aqua Map has a built-in anchor alarm, and you can run that on your iPhone. David, I am having no problem entering information on the Active Captain website. If you'd like to call...

There appear to be several options for purchasing the Aqua Map charts: —One-year subscriptions, ranging from $9.99 for U.S. or Canadian charts, or $14.99 for both. —Perpetual U.S. and Canadian charts for $39.99, which is the option I chose. Aqua Map will run on iOS or Android devices, and is...

I respectfully beg to differ with the above comments. As an experiment, I just logged onto Active Captain and tried adding information about a local boat ramp. It worked just fine—take a look—and posted within three minutes. I use Active Captain regularly, as an essential feature of Aqua Map...

As if that will ever happen ...

That was a sad day: turned out my starboard motor had a cracked block. But Cathy gave me a fair trade-in deal on my port motor (the one with the cracked block was basically a paper weight) and a good deal on the new Tohatsus, and Carl did a wonderful job installing them. Their electrical guy...

On the lift at Cap Sante Marina, Anacortes

Count me among the fans of EQ Marine. I bought twin Tohatsu 50s from them this spring, and have been very happy with their pricing and friendly, personal service. They sell Hondas, too.

But the waters will be a lot calmer when covered by an enormous oil slick, won't they?

There was a lengthy discussion of Coastal Explorer here, in 2016. Wondering if opinions have changed since then.

Have any of you used the Rose Point Coastal Navigator software? Not available on I-pad, so I'd have to go with an Android. Cool-looking product and, unlike Navionics, it's Active Captain-compatible.

The last update on this topic was in August 2017. Since then, has anyone's thinking changed regarding: —Best tablet navigation software for an Inside Passage trip. Navionics? Some kind of Garmin app (Blue Chart Mobile appears to have been discontinued)? Rose Point Coastal Navigator? —Best...

I have a Theta, but prefer a cut-out bleach bottle for #1. Not much aim required.
