That's what they sound like when they are running, turn on the battery switch and start the 3rd

How would you know its been so long since your boat got wet with anything but rain I'd figure you forgot what an engine sounds like when its running.

That fog was real thick! South end of the course was bad. And so was the outside.

That was the year my GPS crapped out and we were in Coney Island..

Were you with me the year we ran over with Jerry in the fog? I only had a compass at the time.

Pretty stupid I might add...

Last year I cancled one trip to Liberty Landing. As I got closer to the Verenzano it closed in to zero visibility. I wouldn't recomend running in that unless you have and know how to use radar. That day we ate in Keyport five miles away and bright sunshine.

I was in the fog Last year with a Compass and a GPS. It is still too difficult and dangerous. Need some sort of radar for fog and night driving. I wish the prices on that equipment would come down.

I know what you mean I had radar and a second gps installed on my Concept last year. With labor it cost around 15000. But when you need it its worth every penny times ten.

A little fog no. Zero vis. with nothing but a compass. We didn't need to see the Hudson that day. I'm crazy not stupid.

If I had the Concept we would have been in Jersey City. That day the OL didn't even have the GPS yet.
