    Another Starlink Mount idea

    I went with the Starlink house mount (its aluminum) and mounted it on the radar arch. I know it’s close to the radar, it I can live with that- if the radar is transmitting, I’m paying attention to the helm and not my phone… Just need to route the cable now.

    GEICO update

    Wanted the forum to hear the facts of what is happening with GEICO. GEICO remains a strong and viable insurer, so insolvency is not an issue. That said, GEICO has elected to restructure its sales channels; part of that restructuring is the elimination of the Independent Agency program, and...
