Marine Radios Review

We just passed my brother’s birthday and couldn’t help but think back to some of the funny things that happened to us when we were younger.  I recall when I was about 12 years old and my brother was 10, we were out at the “cabin” our family owned.  Now, back then, the roads we took to get there were just 2 ruts for the tires to drive in and sometimes we had to steer way to one side of the road or the other to keep the bottom of the car from hitting bottom on a big rock in the middle of the road (which was usually about 2 feet high with grass).  This also made it very difficult to see the obstacles in the middle section!  To make a long story short, we were out in the woods playing when we saw a big black shape coming at us through the brush.  Our hearts skipped a beat, we looked at each other and without speaking another word, turned and ran faster than we’ve ever run before!  As we entered into the cabin clearing, we were hollering a bear was after us and Dad looked at the look of horror on our faces and gently smiled.  What he saw from his angle, was a logger coming out of the woods with a black coat on and laughing like crazy, knowing he’d scared us out of some of our life!  Well, I guess it turned out not be an emergency, but I can assure you that in our young minds I’d have given a million dollars for a radio (possible a hand held CB Radio) that could have put us in touch with someone to help us out of our “imaginary” dilemma. Enjoy the summer.  Happy Boater.
