I've got to be really motivated to mess around in the rat's nest behind the Garmin navigation displays. Well, I'm motivated now. Last week we met a tug and its wide barge in a very narrow canal. It reminded us of the importance of an AIS. The AIS would have alerted each of us to the other's presence well in advance. The pass could have been coordinated for a much wider area. The good news is we have an AIS aboard. The bad news is it's not installed. When better to get the job done than a rainy day at the dock.
At Sabine Marina in Pensacola Beach. 0nm today and holding at 749nm for the trip. DBH
