Hand Held VHF Marine Radios are becoming popular…
I can see a trend setting right before my eyes. I’ve seen more and more boaters purchasing a hand held VHF marine radio rather than a fixed radio. Why? I’m not really sure. For sure they are convenient, portable so they can be used in a kayak or canoe, affordable, AND they float if dropped into the water! Maybe those are all really good reasons why they are becoming so popular with so many boaters. I’m not going to say that those that purchased the portable hand held units don’t already have a fixed unit on their boats, because they may. It certainly is a good idea as they will transit further than a hand held unit. They both, however, will provide valuable up-to-date weather advisories for the safety of both you and those on board with you. I think it’s great that so many are realizing the importance of having one of these radios on board at all times! Sometimes things just make sense! Happy Boater.
Smooth sailing is a great target for a day on the water!
Smooth sailing is always on the top of the “desire list” when heading out on the deep blue with your favorite friends, favorite fishing gear, and favorite music. What happens when something goes wrong out there? Will you be prepared for that unexpected squall? These days, there is really no reason that everyone couldn’t have a very affordable VHF Marine Radio on board. They are available as both a hand held VHF marine radio model as well as a fixed mount VHF marine radio. I’m sure one is available to fit both your wallet and your communication needs.

Water’s getting thicker!
Well, it’s a little tough thinking about boating this morning, as I just looked at the thermometer and it informed me in no uncertain terms that the outside temperature was a mere ten degrees below zero Fahrenheit here on the north shore of Lake Superior in northern Minnesota.
However, I used my hand held VHF radio to contact my buddy who I knew was out on the water. He informed me that the boating was great, so I think that I may brave the elements and head out later on.
