[Public-list] Handheld GPS

[Gordon Laco]

Good morning - 

I have an old steam powered 'Eagle' hand held GPS that is mounted where it
sounds like you have your VHF radio mike.  I drilled two holes in the teak
side of that bottle rack (that bottles don't fit into so we jamb the
binoculars there).  The GPS gets snapped in by a short loop of bungie cord.
We find that is a convenient spot for the instrument to be - nice and handy
for glancing at from either in or out, and it hasn't been smacked yet.

Was moping around the boat yesterday - realized that this is the first
spring in 26 years that I am not going full stress getting the boat ready
for launching.  I won't be in until the middle of July this year...

Cheers - Gord
