Summer has arrived on Chequamegon Bay, As of June 1st. The ice was still on the lake outside the bay causing the fog bank you can see below.
Scott ant Ashland marina launched the boat and used the lift to place the mast on the deck for the short ride across the bay to Washburn.
The plan was to do any electronics additions or modifications absolutely last as they quickly become obsolete. Below is the new VHF radio / GPS / AIS and DSC. What that means is that it identifies and tracks large ships, locates it'self and can instantly notify the coastguard of our exact location a a push of a button anywhere on the lake. This gives us the capabilities needed to be in the big water. it can also find it's way home if our main navigation unit fails.
