On the day before FLIBS, I took a demo ride on an Enclosed Bridge Sportfish that RayMarine had equipped with their new G-series chart plotting system. These manufacturers have made quantum leaps in display, information & navigation technology in recent years. More on this will follow soon.
That said, some things remain the same. Case in point, notice the high tech beverage holders incorporated into the helm on this model...  |
Carl, I took the same ride for the Raymarine demo, but my trip on Friday was a bit more snotty.
I was down in Ft Lauderdale today (Tuesday) for a sea trial and low and behold, here comes the boat show parade. Yacht after yacht heading down the ICW towards Port Everglades and destinations southward. Understand that it was blowing 30+ mph, thanks to tropical storm Noel on our doorstep and the high pressure ridge to our north (come on you closet weathermen, what happens in a situation like that?). I'll post the post-boat-show parade on a new thread.
