Well today is an awful day to be working here.The wind is blowing at gale force and the rain is on the way too,so that makes it for a bad day to get any work done too. So with today being like it is I will do some reading and studying the waterway maps. The waterway maps are a lot different then the highway maps. One of the main things is learning all the markers that or on the water to mark the different. things and what they mean too. There is so much out there in the water that it is unreal and it changes every day and sometimes every hour it will change.
The two most important things to have on your boat or (1) is a two way radio and the next is a (2) good GPS/deapht finder. With the radio the VVHS may not work all the time , but a good short wave will work most ofnthe time and a good deapht finder will tell you the deapht all the time and that will keep you from running aground.
If your the Captain of the boat then you need to train your partner about all things on the boast due to something happening to you.So there is a lot to learn about boating.
So until next posting have a great day.
