This Thursday at the San Diego Rod & Reel Club meeting (7pm @ the Bali Hai on Shelter Island) Jim from the Auxiliary Coast Guard will be discussing the advantages & benefits od DSC (digital selective calling)

Learn how the system work & how to ping your friends with your position without letting the entire fleet know. It's also a great safety feature if your ever in trouble out on the water.

No charge to go to the meeting, & they make one hell of a Mai Tai!!!

Hope to see you down there. Please pm if you ahve any questions.

Plus we have a pretty big raffle at every meeting. Usually over $1500 worth of stuff.

Hey Jason......you know what I learned ?

Nothing beats an EPIRB, a handheld waterproof VHF and an inflatable Rescue Pod.

Damn I wish it was closer to me. I have been trying to figure out my DSC for months now

your right nothing may beat that, but it's nice to know all the systems on your boat. Most of the guys here don't have bigger boats like ours to fit a life raft, but they do have a radio with DSC.. & some just don't have the $1000 for an epirb & $2500 minimum for a decent raft. These are just other option.
