Head's up, a nav contest
If you read Power & Motoryacht, you may have noticed a contest we’re running on the last inside page. Each month there’s a beautiful full page photo of a distinctive coastal landmark from the vast archives of marinas.com. Inset is a Raymarine E-Series with screen like the above, only smaller. The challenge is to use the data on the screen to figure out where the landmark is.
Well, we’re getting more correct answers than expected and I’m especially curious why because I’m making the screens (harder and harder). So help me out; can you figure out where this lovely place is? Did you do it using the screen, or by searching through marinas.com (for a long time), or some other way we never anticipated? Please email me your answers. By the way, the contest has some nice electronics prizes, but, sorry, the entries for this February edition are closed. If you’re good at this, you could always buy the March issue (try a big bookstore, PMY is not into newstand), or a subscription .
Thanks so far to B393Capt, Bob Hinden, Mark Read, and Roger---good puzzle solvers all. But, sorry, I decided to delete your comments as I realized that they might be considered cheatsheets for future contest entrants. As for the search engine business, I swear that the hints you all found in that E-Series screen were harder to work through when I first created it. And I think they're much harder in the current March contest, and ones to come.
