Questions and answers

If you click on the symbol with the hand, you will return to the last chart, if you want to return to the last picture, click on the arrow for "back" on your computer.
An information for non-sailors: if you find N,E,S and W in the charts, texts or as description of fotos, the directions are meant: N = north, S = south, W = west and E = east.
