The weather looks great for the weekend....I hope!

Alien will be visiting Norwalk and I'll be hailing Binary Jane on Channel 9
from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm or so.

Say hello to any Norwalk Islands Sharpies you see for me. Don't
sink any old Laser dinghy you might come across, either (sail No
1 used to live there)

Okay! We loaded up the boat's freezer with steak and fish last night, so we're
all set.
I hope someone reminds me to bring fresh batteries for the GPS...

Why not leave the old ones out in the sun for a while to
recharge?

I tend to keep them in a charging pyramid, which also keeps fish fresh at room
temp.

I don't think your radio will be able to reach me 50 miles up the
coast.

We may sail further up and my radio really has amazing range. From Execution
Rocks I was able to speak to someone at Morris Cove without too much trouble.

And if you switch to a crystal set, you can sharpen your radar
too.

How do you know they heard you? Did they have an amazing radio also?

I was able to reach a fellow on a Columbia 36 who had initially alerted me that
there was a guest mooring open. We spoke on channel 9, tried to switch to 68,
but there was too much chatter there.
If your rig can't make 30 miles or more, something's wrong.

It's not the rig that determines range, it's the radio horizon doofus.

Does your handheld make 30 miles? If not what's wrong with it?
