Who needs to see? You got yer dedicated radar. You got yer
radar/chartplotter. You got yer laptop running CE and you got yer depth
sounder. What's missing? Smell? Crack a window - but make sure your screens
are in place. Please pass the cashews.

Another key point............driving from my lower station is the equivalent
of some of you guys driving from the engine room!! I can't see squat from my
lower station on my current boat. On my next boat this will change, but
right
now, I am flying somewhat blind from my lower station, hence it is a severe
sacrifice driving from the lower station. Also in the Bahamas, driving from
the flybridge is totally breezy etc. I don't run the A/C while underway to
drive below.............because, I may be comfortable..........but I can't
see
s****t!!!!!!!

Here comes Ethanol 15% down the pike... unless boaters can block and tackle
it NOW.  Here is the website to protest it:

We have duplicate controls, navigation, and electronics at both stations.

We prefer the upper helm unless it is the least bit uncomfortable. Then we
will retreat to the lower helm. Even constant wind can cause fatigue up
there without enclosures.

Remember, this is called "pleasure boating."
