The Season is Starting - 2012!

Well, it may not be official, but with the way the weather has been here in this area (eastern PA) it sure seems like it! We've had temp's in the upper 70's and even touching 80, recently. It's only March 21th! My boat is still in it's big, white cocoon - just waiting to emerge for the start of what hopes to be a good season... with any luck, it'll be just as clean and pretty as when I put it away. Maybe with a lot of luck... ;)

I am so tempted to rip the wrap off and start getting ready. But you just know that that Murphy guy will jump out of his little hiding place and dump a foot of heavy, wet, late-March snow on us! I've got some small projects that I'd like to get started on, such as finishing up re-painting my dash panels (where the gauges are). I was able to do most of it over the winter, but there are a few loose ends that need to be tied up.

Other than that, it's really just a matter of normal, Spring-time preparations... flush the fresh water system, re-stock the boat with the things that were removed for fear of freezing, start her up and give all the systems a good once-over, etc.

How about you guys? What are your thoughts? What do you do in the Spring to get ready for the boating season?

How to use a GPS - A USPS Seminar

Optimize Your Boating Experience, Learn to Use Your GPS!

Thursday June 7, 2012 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm

GPS has become a common tool for navigation. However using GPS on the water is distinctly different from a moving map display in your car.

This seminar explains the principles of waypoint navigation which you will use. It then shows you how to relate the GPS to your charts which provide essential information about what is around you.

The seminar also shows you how to operate your GPS – what all those crazy buttons do, what the screens show, and how to access the functions you need.

A handheld GPS is used as the demonstration model, but all GPS receivers function similarly. By the time you have completed the seminar, you will be able to store waypoints into your GPS, activate them for navigation, and use GPS to keep you on a safe, pre-qualified course of your choosing.

You’ll also get some tips for choosing a GPS if you don’t currently own one.

Participants will receive a copy of the USPS GPS Guide and a waterproof McGraw-Hill Captain’s Quick Guide Using GPS to take aboard to remind you of the steps, or to show another of your crew how to use your GPS.

When: Thursday June 7, 2012 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Where: Peters Marine's Boating Safety and Skills Classroom, 1402 Union Blvd, Allentown, PA

Cost: $27 Materials Fee (Participants will receive a copy of the USPS GPS Guide and a waterproof McGraw-Hill Captain’s Quick Guide Using GPS to take aboard to remind you of the steps, or to show another of your crew how to use your GPS.)
