Going South

Jen and I are planning on heading South on Master Plan November 1.  We have been eagerly preparing the boat and our lives for this adventure.  We have just completed an upgrade to the Navigation electronics on the boat.  We upgraded the following items:
New Raymarine C90W Multifunction Displays for GPS and Radar
New Raymarine Radar Scanner
New Standard Horizon VHF Radios with AIS Receiver
New Gyro Heading Sensor
New Fluxgate Compass
New Raymarine Digital Souder Module
New 600 watt Depth Transduser

These were all professionally installed by Joe Fortin at Electro Marine Service in East Greenwich.  I have to say that he did an outstanding job of getting it all installed in a way that it is easy to operate and view.

To install the new depth transducer we had to pull the boat out of the water.  This was a good opportunity to clean the bottom and running gear of growth.

  As we get closer to our departure we will update you on our plans
