Question: How many Mobile Apps does one need ?

Answer: Just those that SERVE one’s needs !!

That is exactly what the team at Salty Southeast Cruisers’ Net has been working on, carrying out plans made just months before the untimely death of the SSECN founder Claiborne Young.

Back in 2005, Claiborne stated that the purpose of SSECN would be, “Cruisers Helping Cruisers.”  This became the motto for SSECN and is the core strength of its daily operations. The effort to bring a mobile app to the cruising community that would put the timely and content rich Salty Southeast Cruisers’ Net at the finger tips of the skipper while underway is the result of many cruisers trying to help other cruisers. The SSECN Mobile App is easy to use with an intuitive interface.

True to the SSECN website the SSECN Mobile App is FREE.

Take a look at all that is available to the captain and crew, while underway, using its cartographic features and continually updated information:

• Current waterway and mile marker location
• Continuously displays the appropriate side ICW yellow triangle/square will be found on markers/buoys
• Items that are ahead and astern, providing for each item:

1. – Mile marker
2. – Distance from current location
3. – Bearing from current location
4. – Time to go at current speed (TTG)
5. – Estimate time of arrival (ETA)  – extremely helpful to time arrive at bridges

• Items can be filtered by:

1. – Alerts
2. – ICW Problem Areas
3. – General Information items
4. – Posts
5. – Local Notice to Mariners (LNM)
6. – Marinas
7. – Bridges
8. – Anchorages

• Filtering for items can be by date posted:

1. – All
2. – Within 180 days
3. – Within 90 days
4. – Within 30 days
5. – None

All submitted information from cruisers who have just navigated waters where you may be headed is vetted for accuracy.  Local Notices to Mariners and Navigation Alerts are readily available to the skipper while underway with high-resolution charts, as well as maps for planning purposes.

Fuel prices and daily postings are automatically updated, so your information is always current.
With the fuel price menu, you can quickly find the best fuel prices nearest you and/or the closest fuel available to you, sorted by type, price, location, and range.

Currently available for iPhones or iPads, plans are to have an Android release soon also.

All this always available on line or off line because of the full support of the SSECN Sponsors whose contact information will also be seen on this new tool for cruisers.

We highly recommend that if you cruise from Mile Marker “0” to Mobile, AL, get it, use it, and report back to us your thoughts and suggestions!!
