Christmas!

What's on everyone's wish list? Hoping for a Garmin 943 xsv or Eartec headsets.

[Longo]

On board with the Garmin - just looking at them in the West Marine flyer as they just had a great sale on Garmin. Almost pulled the trigger but still a bit cautious to spend the money at this time...but yes - that is my next big purchase!

Stay safe - Longo/Albin 37PB in CT

Albin 31TE for me. With brexit happening, it means that the EU tit for tat tariffs no longer apply. When I I bought FP2 if the boat cost $50,000 then it would be £50k in the U.K. now it’s more like £75k. Take away those tariffs and a $100,000 is in reach.

Dear Santa,
I've been very good and would like either Boykin Spaniel or Nova Scotia Duck Toller pups.

Just wishing to get out boat ready for future summer 2021 adventures & that COVID doesn't cause problems with road trips. We're pretty much set as far as the boat goes with electronics & all except for some new truck & trailer tires & servicing trailer hubs. Otherwise maybe add a stereo system which is one thing we don't have on our boat.

My only boat related request of the big guy is a vhf radio with antenna and mount. I didn't get greedy and ask for the set with AIS, but instead opted for the one with built in gps, because hey whats wrong with an extra GPS? The cost difference justified (in my mind, we'll have to see what Santa thinks) getting the upgraded antenna. No point in a radio that can't communicate.

I do have my eye on a 36ET in Annapolis.

I'm not familiar. Is that considered large as extra terrestrials go?

Just kidding, I hope all of your surprises are pleasant and you end up getting the boat!

A new boat (have my eye on a 1985 46 Viking now. But the last two I surveyed fell through so I’m not optimistic on this one) and a house (landlord is kicking me out cuz he wants to sell the place I’m renting). So nothing big lol.

[Norseman]

Santa says I need good binoculars.
My cheap West Marine binos ain’t cutting it anymore.
Any recommendations in the medium price range, German or Japanese

[Nancy]

Jeremy, I hope Santa or your fairy godmother delivers on these. What a tough time to buying either one.

[Jeremyvmd]

Thank you Nancy! Have an offer in on a great house for a good price (low interest rates help lol) so I’m hopeful.

Nice profile pic, John! lol! Hope Santa comes through for you.

Yea I noticed that too. Reminds me of the view from my slip camera for the next few months....
Well done John. Good luck on your search.

Happy holidays to the AOG! Wishing everyone well and a better 2021!
Our boat was a wonderful escape for us even though we stayed very local this year.

Take care and hope to see you out on the water sooner than later!

Best regards,

Gery
