There are soooo many concurrent projects on my first boat....but its both exciting and daunting to be moving through this....
At this point, I dont really need or want 15-year old GPS or Radar systems.
My depth finder works, but its only like 2" in diameter...hardly something I can see from my position in the cockpit.
And the wind speed indicator, doesnt work.
I also have a (more than 10-year old) etrex GPS.
About the only thing thats impressive about the navigation stuff I have on board is the new (within the past several years) Ritchie compass! But I have not yet learned how to use it.
I would like wind indicators and MAYBE boat speed and a larger DEPTH display...but being that I am still learning...do I really need much more than that?
So for weekend daysailing...even cruising to Catalina...how much do we really need? Thoughts?
