Hi guys,

I thought I had a name picked out ("Mischief II") for the 1999 R22 that Stan
is recycling for me even as I write.  But since the hull will be navy and
since I'm "forever in Blue Jeans" that are baggy and worn at the knees, my
wife suggested "Rag Bag" or "Blue Jeans".  It will be one of the three.
Stan has me talked out of a mast antenna and a cockpit-mounted VHF, since
GPS and cell phones work great for communicating these days.

At any rate, since I'll be sailing mostly in the Big Assawoman Bay (BAB),
which is extremely shallow in spots and tends to shoal a bit, I'm still
inclined to go with a depth gauge.  And I'm also inclined to install a
wall-mounted compass in the cockpit area.  Does anyone have any thoughts on
brands to look for / stay away from?

Thanks.

Tom Bickerstaff ("Bick")

P.S. I should be "up and running" by the end of June, so if anybody finds
him/herself near Ocean City, MD and wants to check out the BAB, just let me
know.
