So, while here in the Exumas there are many many big yachts. It seems to be the playground for big charter yachts with all the toys, you know, the 100+ things. They have multiple domes on their masts. Sometimes five or six.
However there are also many boats in the 40-70 foot range that also have two or three domes. This is in addition to the radar array. I am thinking maybe the TV (Tracvision) and maybe a SatPhone, Internet?
I have an old outdated TracVision dome that I have never used or even tried to sign up for a service on. In fact I will be asking the the yard to remove it next visit. In the two months here we have been here we have never missed the TV.
So here is the question. If I was looking to upgrade my electronics suite, what the hell is there in these big white domes that I might want?
My immediate plans are Chesapeake, New England, Newfoundland, and a loop. I have a digital TV antennae that gets me the usual local 45-50 TV channels.
So what do I need to "dome?
= foot plus things..
