Small but powerful.
This is a quick post about a new device on the boat. We’ve purchased a Garmin SE Explorer satellite tracker for our trip up north. With it we are able to accomplish things nothing else could really do for us.

We will be isolated for most of the summer, with little to no cell coverage or wifi. The tracker allows us access to weather, text communications, tracking and emergency response.

To the right on the blog main page is a button “FIND US”. With a click you will be able to see where we are throughout the summer. This only works if our device is on and we will wait to turn it on till we leave on May 20th. From there on out it will always be on.

It will be fun for those who follow us and a must for family if they need to get ahold of us in an emergency.

I would have purchased the Explorer if it only gave me local weather. Many anchorages are wind dependent. Knowing the direction and strength of the winds will take the guess work out of where we spend our nights and how long we can stay there.

All in all, with everything it does, the Explorer is a great thing to have way out in the middle of no-where.
