    Dry Tortuga trip planning questions

    also unmentioned is, you follow a chain of keys for about 35 miles ( the last being marquesa which has some good fishing back behind it ) enroute to tortugas so if the seas kick up you can tuck behind one and wait it out if you really had to. then its about a 40 mile open water run to tortugas.

    Need to replace Guest Charger

    i have a guest charger that failed me, it made one of my batteries "crack, explode," (whatever you wanna call it). i put a new one in & opted for a direct replacement. mainly to keep it simple. that was only 2 years ago. so far so good.
