SpinSheet magazine caught us playing hooky from work. They put Tempest on
their 2005 Calendar for January.

Audio? I didn't get any.

I played hookey today, but I'm varnishing Yes, it's worth it, and it
ain't hard work, if you follow the directions.

I have to ask, Why the radar reflector in a closed bay, an a sunny day?

It's windage, makes noise, and will corrode making it fall out of the
sky, possibly when it's needed. If I was to use one, I'd buy a good one
and keep it in below, except when I thought it was needed.

I hate the look of those things, and, having a trawler with a good
radar, I'm skeptical of their effectiveness. I've seen many times where
a boat with a reflector never showed up on my screen.

Great photos

On the Chesapeake Bay, radar reflectors are important. There is a lot of
commercial shipping and reflectors are required for several of the races
(BOR, Governors Cup for example). I do a fair amount of cruising at night.
Mine dosen't make noise and I haven't had any problems with it so I just
leave it up. There's a small block on the spreader so the line dosen't
chaff.

I canceled that message, but it still showed up on your server.

I thought the radar reflector detracted from a good photo.
