As Long as I’m mentioning MadMariner, by the way, take note of the new contest, just launched. I feel confident that Navagear readers have what it takes to win. So get out there and make me proud!
Entrants are asked to share what they have learned by writing a few paragraphs on the best boating tip they know. Just answer the question: What’s the single best tip you could give a new boater?
First prize is a West Marine dinghy, worth about $200; second prize is an Icom M34 handheld floating VHF, worth about $150; and third prize is a Norcross DF 2200PX handheld depthfinder, valued at about $90. Everybody who enters gets a free subscription to Mad Mariner!
