Marine Electronics with Kai Curry and Ben Ellison.

A chat with Ben Ellison and Kai Curry about marine electronics, and finding a balance between over-reliance and under-equipped. We talk about our Must Have Electronics: radar, depth sounder, chartplotter, and VHF. What's the benefit of a SSB+Pactor vs. the IridiumGo! and why you might want one over the other. Kai advocates for the Iridium Glow, while Ben Ellison discusses the simplicity of the InReach. How reliable is the iPad for navigation, and what apps are best. Teresa believes electronics should be a tool not a crutch. We all agree AIS is an extremely valuable tool, and discuss hardware options.
