[PUP] Electronics equipment, needs, and costs - needs and realities, yacht equipment in general

[Bill Allen]

If you,ve ever been in the shipping lanes or even just running I think 
you'll agree that radar is indeed a must have piece of electron ics. 
Although not 100% able to see everything it sure is nice to be able to see 
almost anything that might ruin your day on the water. What else could you 
posible use when the fog rolls in or even in the dark of night? How else can 
you even see a buoy at a distance or better yet a low jetty. It's easy to 
stay at the dock in bad visibilty but what about when you're already out on 
the water and in comes the fog. Or just tracking a course of a target of two 
or three miles distant? Radar at least to me is a don't leave home without 
it.
