Marine Radios Review

I stopped to think the other day just how different we are in today’s world compared to just 50 years ago.  People are flying through the woods in the winter time on snowmobiles and in the summer you see atv’s, motorcycles, boats, and many other variations of motorized “toys” going in every direction.  When I was a kid (at risk of dating myself), we had motorcycles and boats, but nobody every thought of all terrain vehicles, jet skis or snowmobiles!   We used to be outside making our own fun – building tree forts or just walking in the woods during the day and then we were all expected to be home at suppertime to eat with the family.  Things have definitely changed and I for one am not sure it is for the better.  I can certainly see how it has become more critical than ever that we have better communication devices available to us like hand held CB Radios, or hand held VHF Marine Radios just to keep in touch with those we love!  I really do like progress, but it seems to me as we look at the summer season upon us, we should not overlook that the first line of communication isn’t an electronic device, but a simple conversation over a meal.  Happy Boater.
