I feel sorry for the people who bought radar for their cruising boats.
For the most part they wasted their money. Why do I say this? It's because most of the so-called cruisers don't do much in the way of cruising. To wit: Capt. Skippy who has been on the hard for close to 9 months now and the little time he did spend cruising he was rarely out of range of wi-fi and the Internet where he could pull up radar images from powerful ground-based radar to inform him of storms closing in. Why, I can pull up radar images from the Miami radar and see storms approaching from miles away on my iPod. Skippy, like most of todays so-called sailors ,doesn't need radar aboard any more than they need sails as little as they use either. All they really need is a diesel engine and Internet access. About 99% of the time they have both. That's all they really need to stay happy. That and plenty of spliff or rum. LOL! Wilbur Hubbard |
