Well Frank's predictions of conditions were more or less right on. I crewed on Gary Bruner's Yankee 30 and it was challenging. We raced conservatively And three of us helmed in short stints. The seas were confused and good sized. Keeping the boat tracking was quite a physical affair because of the

Hi Wally, I just listened to the interview on our NPR station. Just finished googling the Navy rescue video, and the ship data, and blog. My heart goes out to those guys, but it's great our Navy and Coast Guard have such capabilities. Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34R Atlantic City, NJ -

I was actually wondering if anyone who has had a sat phone for more than two years would chime in. I'm going to buy one of those little yellow 'Baby on Board' signs and hang it on the radar mast. Sheesh, if I ever need rescue it won't make news or go viral. Everyone will just say 'Oh, a sing

I'm sorry, have to jump in here. With a sat phone, assuming it works, you may get some operator on the phone. With a SSB, assuming you took the time to learn it, you will probably get half the ham community on the other end. That is a group that will go above and beyond. John KC2-WPS On M

Really not a pi___ng match - honest. I just can’t stress enough how valuable and helpful the ham community can be. Please, if you venture offshore, take the time to learn and pursue a license. I am not bashing the sat phone - I had one on board when cruising. It just wouldn’t be my go-to. O

Jack: I have twice taken my 35-1 both ways in the Erie Canal. I entered the Erie in Oswego. You can enter it at Buffalo to avoid the Welland Canal. The canal will be an easy ride going down. There is a charge and you may take a day getting through. On the other hand you will likely save time
