I totally understand! Next year!

Fellow brethren-I am officially in countdown mode of 58 days to leave with the Sceptre to Great Guana. 6/15-6/24. Anyone one to run to Grand Cay on 6/14. I set aside an extra day for a night at Grand. We could cross together on 6/14, hang out, fish, spear, stay a few days....

C'mon brethren! Somebody should be all over this! I'm Starting to get fired up about my electronics… It looks like I'm going be buying the bad elf pro GPS that connects through Bluetooth to five iOS devices at a time paired with my navionics app and the Garmin inreach iridium sat tracker with two-way text / SOS to go with my waterproof ACR 406 PLB.

I have a Bad Elf Pro and tried to go Ipad just for kicks but the screens wash out on IOS devices in the sun and require you to take your sunglasses off unless you use them at night. I have 2 Garmins, one 7610 xsv and a 4212 xsv to handle the nav and sonar requirements. I did bring my Ipad on last years trip and expanded my cell coverage before hand to have internet coverage. I have a G2 vision card for the Bahamas that worked as well as the Navionics app on my Ipad.

Mel and I would love to go with the newly refirbed sled but I just can't commit to travel plans when 3 party work is being done on the boat. Done by dates seem to only be an estimate.... that and Mel has been requesting add ons.

no comment! I just spoke to Mike at international marine today.... He is heading over to the Abacos for a month this Summer. I may take the boat over to his shop to officially get their blessings and three Hail Marys! Ken- thanks for the heads up on the poor visibility of the iPad.
