Marine Radios Review

There’s a lot of things that may fall into this category.  I shudder when I think of how many Mickey Mantle cards I put on my bicycle as a young lad with a clothes pin and let it flap on the spokes of my wheels to make my simple 2 wheel bicycle sound like a motorcycle (in my own mind).   Now those cards would bring in enough money to pay off my mortgage!!  ….but we didn’t know that then – after all, they were only worth a penny back then!  Oh well, time keeps going forward and we have to swallow those things we did that we can no longer bring back to re-do.  Some other things in today’s world that fit that category may include insurance for a certain thing, or maybe a VHF Marine Radio capable of broadcasting NOAA weather updates and warnings/alerts.  You buy them, install them, listen to them, and maybe never need them.  Hopefully this is true for you.  The trouble with that is that we get sluggish in our planning when things are going well – you know – kinda chugging along nice and easy.  When, suddenly you find yourself with a broken down outboard motor, a storm coming and things caving in all around you rapidly.  Sure would be nice to say to your friends and guests on board that you are in communication with the USCG via your VHF marine radio and they are on the way to help you.  These little radios are very inexpensive and could (and  have) save your life.  Happy Boater.
