You are going to have SO much fun.

Thank you for the idea. I will check that out. We are also hoping to find some information on a Nautical Navigation System that will use GPS to help us locate "places of interest" meaning food, water, fuel, and STARBUCKS!

I hope you find some info because I don't want you to get lost out there!!! You are going to have lots of fun!!!!!

Boy I hope so. We both agree that we definately NEED an emergency GPS locater on the boat. Since we will have a small gas powered generator, we will have our Cell phones and we will both have a laptop. Nothing like roughing it! :
