Abso...Have been following you guys for a while now.<br />Absolutely love the posts and info, I knew you were a special person as my oldest daughter is named Brittany as well. I find "Brittanys" to be extremely intelligent and very likeable :)<br />Isla is too adorable! I see she she has assumed the role of "First Mate" and will be Co-Captain by Thanksgiving.<br />You guys have inspired me and I am looking at a Brewer 44 now as well as a Hylas 44 and 46. We will see what happens next! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706432464906446268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-15332942579132458342013-03-06T07:11:19.796-06:002013-03-06T07:11:19.796-06:00Apps are the way to go for an anchor alarm!

I have a blog called i-Marine Apps that reviews all the marine charting, data, AIS and more.<br />http://i-marineapps.blogspot.com/<br /><br />One anchor alarm that is free is called Drag Queen. A little play on words there but it is free and has some nice setting and features. It was developed by the folks who run the ActiveCaptain website.<br />http://i-marineapps.blogspot.com/2012/01/drag-queen-ancor-alarm.html<br /><br />You can find many others in the Apple App Store.<br />Mark<br /><br />Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613501123640472129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-12305119312348465912013-03-05T20:12:27.539-06:002013-03-05T20:12:27.539-06:00Just to add to the above comment on smartphones an...Just to add to the above comment on smartphones and tablets, there are also applications that will allow you to share that device's GPS with other devices. I've used an app called BlueNMEA on my Android-based phone to provide GPS information via bluetooth to a map application running on a PC. I'm sure there are similar apps for the iPhone folks.Mike B.http://thisratsailed.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-1929846286521532122013-03-05T16:20:45.393-06:002013-03-05T16:20:45.393-06:00Thanks for the great info Brittany!

FYI - There are also multiple <a href="http://www.sailfarlivefree.com/2012/11/dont-be-drag-anchoring-app-reviews.html" rel="nofollow">anchor alarm apps</a> available for smartphones/tablets. We've started using ours (along with our trusty Garmin 76csx) and found them to work mostly fine.SailFarLiveFreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874321318453218893noreply@blogger.com
