I guess with cruising comes a lot of responsibility for the safety of everyone on board. Al and I enrolled in a Ham Radio licensing course. It`s not fun. It`s technical, with formulae, inducers, conductors, and other stuff that seems to be falling in a huge black hole in my head. I just want to be able to get weather reports and email from the boat. And, of course, be able to get help in the event something happens.The HAM course was tough for me. It was very technical, and not very interesting. We have opted to buy into the SailMail system. We get to send email via a licensed HAM operator. Cost is approximtely $250.00 per year. Maybe next year I will try the HAM operators course again....but I doubt it.
