This morning I went to try again, and overnight, the pi had connected to the internet and the clock set. Was able to set up the AP point.
Internet signal is very weak, if i go to signalk web apps store, it shows as offline. Evidently just enough signal to sync the clock at some time overnight.
It appears that the pi running openploter 3 requires a good internet connection to do all the clock related functions. Have not been able to connect at the boat this year except for a minute or so. The internet service provider blames it on people watching netflicks.
last year i used my smartphone set to a wireless hotspot. This refused to work on the boat on the Pi this year. tablet connects perfectly.
not sure why, is it a openplotter 3 function, or all the updates on the android phone. really puzzed.
maybe I need to figure out how to run the Pi off an portable usb battery to keep it running next year to go from the home to boat.
Thanks for all your efforts.
