Killing time on a snow day

Post by DougSea »

Here's a link to an amusing little video put together by Bill at "TheMarineInstallersRant":

Without giving anything away I have to admit I used something similar to the navigation tool mentioned in the video on Sonny III's maiden voyage. Hopefully no one recognizes themselves as the skipper!

If you're a DIYer you should follow Bill's blog at:

He's a professional electronics installer and a pretty good writer. I also highly recommend Panbo, http://www.panbo.com/ , another great electronics blog.

Both help me get through the winter doldrums. :?

But was there cocktail sauce involved??

All of a sudden those little "not for navigation" disclaimers aren't so ammusing!
