Gizmo bridge 2010, a shout out to Garmin ID
While a Panbo logo is still a work in progress, check out the sharp name plate Gizmo is sporting thanks to Garmin's industrial design department. Gander too at how much electronic goodness I managed to squeeze onto the boat's latest flying bridge dash, and note that a wider view would also show a Furuno MFD12 and a Raymarine E140 Wide with room for more! It's quite the testing platform and you'll be seeing lots of pictures and screen shots taken here, but today let's tour that amazing design shop in Kansas...
Genasun & Victron, power to spare?
That's a pair of Genasun LFP Lithium batteries that weigh a small fraction of what similar sized regular marine batteries would and offer a lot more usable power than even their 760 amp hour rating would indicate, because they can endure truly deep discharges and accept massive recharges. Combine these with no less than four Victron MultiPlus inverter/chargers, which can automatically kick in extra AC when shore power or the generator can't carry the load, and you've got power to spare. Yes, this is a high end project, but note the gray diagonal planking seen behind the lithium batteries...
DY AIS200N2K, even better than it looks!
The picture tells a lot: Digital Yacht's new AIS200N2K is the first AIS receiver I know of with NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, and USB outputs. But get this: it can also multiplex 0183 input and gateway it to N2K, "so that traditional data such as depth, position, speed and wind, which is available in NMEA 0183 format, can be converted to N2K within the unit." All for $519! The press release doesn't say what's coming out of the USB port, but I suspect it's 0183 with a mix of AIS target data and 0183 inputs. Maybe someone from Digital Yacht or its US and EU retail arm Cactus Marine can elaborate in comments, because I may lose my Internet connection any moment now...

Traditional handlining taken from United Nations Food and Agriculture site interesting read with some fundamental fishing techniques!
1. INTRODUCTION
A handline is cheap and simple to construct, but making and using it, like all fishing techniques, requires skill and knowledge to achieve the best results. The difference between
the novice and the experienced professional handliner
depends on a combination of variable operations that in any
given fishing situation the professional is more likely to do
correctly than the amateur, so that the professional is on
average likely to catch m
