Boat Toys

I have been working on getting the boat ready since we launched in May. There were several things that I wanted to add. Some were necessary such as a second fixed VHF and others were a luxury such as satellite TV. The original chartplotter does not have inputs for AIS or video so I decided to use a laptop with Coastal Explorer charting software that would also accept AIS.

Satellite TV and a new over the air antenna

Laptop with Coastal Expolorer and AIS. If you look close at the bottom center of the scree there is an orange mark. That is a commercial boat that is broadcasting AIS

A new 2,800VA inverter

Of course we need a place to put the wine.

We are always looking for storage and we got this idea from our boat neighbors.
