() But that's it. No radar or AIS. I don't single hand overnight except for this occasional Gulf of Maine crossing. If you take the straight line across, traffic is minimal. I didn't see any boat traffic within 10 miles or so going down. I saw much more on the return that was closer to shore, but that was almost all daylight. The only things I saw were a few whales.
I'm looking into AIS but frankly I'm not to up on that stuff yet.
