A funny thing happened to me on my way to Chatham Island today. I was sailing (barely) under main sail alone, transiting Baynes Channel when I started getting disoriented. The question is; "how long do you stare at a chart plotter, wondering why it's not displaying what you're currently looking at before you realize your tablet is frozen and needs a re-boot?"

In this case, about 10 minutes.

Please see next post for the exciting conclusion......
