As the summer is ending, we're struggling to do the fun "summer things" while "getting ready to go south". Although some of the things being done (a delivery back from an Annapolis to Bermuda Ocean Race, a weekend at anchor in St. Michaels, etc...) are in support of the act of living aboard, things like upgrading Lasata's electronics are slowly being completed.
The list of upgrades includes all new Electronics; for example new Raymarine transducer pack for Speed, Wind, and Depth. We've integrated these things with a new MFD Display for GPS/Chart plotter, and finally a new Digital Radar to be installed sometime very soon.
Other upgrades and additions to the boat include things like a Solar Charging system, and a few safety items like AIS to let other ships know where we are and a "Spot" tracking system to let our shore-side friends and family know where we are. These and a few other safety items to go, and we should be on our way.
