Hand held depth finder? I had no idea such a thing existed, but I can
see its use for exploring an anchorage by dink.

A hand held depth finder:

Its called a lead line skip. get one on board and use it once a month
as part of your monthy safety checks.

ALso, regarding your SSb email...... trash that stone age crap. It
has one foot in a grave half filled with vacume tubes. Get Irridum. If
you want to listen to the net gab fest get a good multi band receive
only for $300USD and listen to all that dribble ya want. Hell you can
even receive weathefax off it and put to your computer. The only
people who still use SSB TX a
1) fools like you who listen to retierd radio geeks who love playing
with that crap cause it makes them feel smarter than you. So guys like
you buy all that **** that comes with ssb cause you dont know any
better. Personally, less complicated is better that is unless you are
the second typ of person who supports use of ssb tx
2) radio geeks who grew up making a crystal radio set for a merit
badge and soldering Heath Kits together who like to tinker with that
crap. Those kinduse ssb for the same reason old poeple do crossword
puzzels and SODOKU.
3) those stunted personalities who cant stand being quiet or alone
and must forever have an audince at all cost.

Why dont you go learn flashing light/morse code. Did you know that is
required for all USCG license alowed to sail oceans? But SSB is not
specifically required. Why does the IMO and USCG not require vercahnt
ships to have SSB any more skip??


As much time as you sit on the hook you could get GBAN and surf the
internet for god sakes.
