Bob Bradfield has devoted much of the last fifteen years to producing 750 charts of channels and anchorages on the West Coast of Scotland. These typically run on an iPad or Android tablet and show you exactly where you are at all times to within just a couple of metres. They are now used by most yachtsmen on the West Coast and also as the basis for the plans in pilot books. Bob stumbled into this surveying and chart-making project and it has since become an addiction for which he has won many awards, including an MBE. On retiring Bob sailed to the Arctic, Antarctic, trans-Atlantic and many other places. He will illustrate his talk with photos but also with his charts and with anecdotes from his 15 years of surveying in West Coast waters.
