[Rhodes22-list] Check out SolidNav :: The first alternativeforeveryone

[Lowe, Rob]

Art,
Agreed, price a bit hefty.  You know, I'm going to have to check this
out a bit more.  I was just speaking to him on the water as we cruised
around last night.  I'll discuss this with him next time I see him and
get back with you.

Sailing was weak, no wind.  But Wednesday nights is "Beer Can Regatta"
nights (excuse to cruise around in  a group, drink some cold barley pop,
and have water fights when appropriate).  More of a social event, and
for that, the evening was excellent. - Rob

Rob,

Hope you had a good sail yesterday.

How hefty is his battery pack?

The price on these electrics is a mite hefty.
