Magellan ToughCase

Its no secret that I love to make use of my iPhone while on the water. I use Navionics charts for finding structure. I use Ustream to make live broadcasts. Both apps do a pretty good job at taxing my battery. Not to mention that I'm plagued by worries of the phone getting wet when its not in my RAM AquaBox. But this new case from Magellan will resolve all my problems, and I can't wait to get one

More PC Fun

I've been running to PC whenever the surf is down enough for me to launch. I just love the fishing out there - anyone could really do it...

This time I brought a crab pot with me. I've never tried crabbing out there before, but I usually see one other crab buoy, so I figured I'd give it a go. I just took the one pot (oregon limits 3 pots/person) just so I didn't have to worry about all the extra gear for nothing.

The new SPOT GPS locater/messenger

It comes complete with a new form factor that is smaller, lighter, and touts improved battery performance. Three things that everyone wants with electronics upgrades.
