The March 1 meeting was presented by Mike Alfonso, N7MCA, whose obsession in the maritime mobile ham/boating world will take him and his XYL from Alaska to South America. His fully fitted sail boat, the Last Mango sets sail this Spring after a shake-down cruise last year. Amateur radio is the primary communications system aboard; his primary e-mail system is [email protected]. Mike’s presentation showed the fantastic photos of where he has sailed so far in checking out the boat along with the ham radio equipment and the installation issues on board. Mike spent quite a bit of time and effort designing and operating his radio room. From the presentation, Mike and his wife are experts in managing the boat and its electronic equipment for safety, communications, and position location. Thanks Mike for showing us what we can do with our retirement money!
