From her vantage point...

My wife and I drove out to Lake Carlyle over in Illinois yesterday to look at a, '83 Catalina C27 and snapped this shot from the cockpit.

Re: From her vantage point...

When anchor lights get that bright they can be confused by others for the sun. Better to put a lower watt bulb in it.

Re: From her vantage point...

That is what happens when you connect a MPPT solar charger to a Smartgauge using a KISS counterpoise and route the resulting NMEA output over TCP/IP...

Sorry, that light can be confused with other things so you'll need to pay a fine now.

I showed the better nine-tenths your posts and she grinned and said to tell you all, thank you.
