Even if you're going out solo, don't go boating alone! Tell a trusted friend or family member know where you're going and what time you expect to be back. You might know this as "filing a float plan," but you don't need anything formal. It can be as simple as texting or emailing someone with your whereabouts, what time you expect to get home, and who to call if you're not back within a reasonable window of time. 🚩Enjoy this video?

Raymarine has some interesting news for this year, as boats.com senior editor Lenny Rudow discovered at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, when the LightHouse software update was announced along with the CP100. The LightHouse update includes a lot of advancements, including new color palettes, menus, and pinch-to-zoom functionality. Meanwhile, the CP100 takes the same CHIRP-ish technology use in the Raymarine Dragonfly, and combines it with a black-box sounder. Nifty stuff - go ahead and get a glimpse for yourself, first-hand. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/11/raymarine-lighthouse-and-cp100-update-first-look-video/ For more electronics videos, visit www.boats.com.
