Windows 11 can run Android apps. Even Windows 10 can, if you have a Samsung phone.

Re: What is this symbol on Navionics charts?

Whatever it is, it ends at the Oregon state line. Must be California specific.

Re: For all promoting flare guns for self defense

You may want to review a high school physics course. There is no factor for amalgamation in the formula for kinetic energy. E=1/2*m*v^2

At the muzzle, same mass, same velocity, same 12 gauge...

Re: For all promoting flare guns for self defense

If the mass and velocity are the same, there is no difference. Same kinetic energy and it all gets transfered to the target. If the impact surface area is the same, the effect is equally devastating.

Re: Handheld VHF Recommendations

But I agree with you that SH made a lousy move discontinuing the rechargeable...

Re: Broken Lagoon

So, cost savings is not really the reason for the bad bulkheads, since good bulkheads would not cost more.

This cat new is a cool $1M. Chinese pricing? More like Euro pricing for Chinese quality!...

Re: Broken Lagoon

How much would properly constructed bulkheads add to the cost of an L450? What Chinese-made catamaran is Lagoon competing against?

Re: Heart Results Are In - Boat Options?

The flushing ports on the engine don't flush all passages the way the "earmuffs" do. Better than nothing, but I would supplement with occasional earmuff flush.

Re: US Customs and Boarder Phone Scam

Check out the RoboKiller app. I started using it a few days ago. It comes with automated "dialogs" that are being played at the scammer. Waste their time without wasting yours.
