Yes, but the vararies of HF radio propagation is what makes it fun!!

Given the height of your GB, a little judicious engineering with a
tower and maybe a TH-11, you wouldn't have to worry about propagation
- in particular if you used a california kilowatt. :)

That's pretty cool. I checked on your progress last night.
How come you were going in circles?


Because we were anchored. :-)



HA HA. Ask a smart ass question and get a damn humiliating answer.
Good on you.

Cool, it looks like he's making good progress. Since the winds in the area
are light and variable he must be motoring just like Skippy always does.

It looks like he's coming my way. It will be interesting to see if he
takes the Yacht Channel and proceeds out into Hawk Channel and the Straits
of Florida via the Channel Five bridge or if he heads up the Intracoastal
Waterway to Miami before jumping off to the Bahamas. This time of year,
with thunderstorms popping up everywhere most every morning and afternoon
he'd probably be better off motoring up the Intracoastal and waiting in
Miami for some rare, steady winds for the crossing.

But, if he's like Skippy he'll wait until a flat calm day and motor across
with sails flapping for show.

Sailing?? ~~ Snerk ~~
Wayne gave up being a sailor years ago. Now he sits in his comfy seat at
the helm of a trawler type cruiser...... doesn't even get his hair mussed,
no mater what the conditions.



And you, dummy, are the proud owner of a rowboat with a 25 on the back.

It ain't "cruising" (RBC) unless it's under sail.

That is a misconception held mostly by you it seems.




I didn't know Sea Bird Marina had Wi-Fi. So, I was right, you do intend to
use the Channel Five bridge.
