Santa brought me a nifty collapsible LED lantern for the boats. It was otherwise a boat-free Christmas, though I got lots of other things I needed/wanted.

I went North Pole Crazy
I got: a Lowrance HDS 9, 4g Radar & a Standard Horizon VHF w/gps & ais.

I don't know if I was all that good - but I certainly have been that busy

& a Road Trip to Duck Key for a month in Feb

Getting to buy my boat this year was my Christmas present (and birthday, Easter, Columbus Day, Halloween, etc.) - and I'm absolutely good with that. Just need more time to sail.

Same here! But he did bring me 10 yrds of marine vinyl to make a pop top cover and cusions for the cockpit.

I'll tell you what Santa did NOT bring. Vic's Autopilot

[tlgibson97]

I got a new pressure pump and faucet for the galley. Since installing the 31 gal tank I feel bed watching her pump away at the current faucet. It would take her a week to empty it.

The Charlie T received two blocks for the gen (I have only used the jib so far) . A pair of Gas Spring Lift Strut Shock Damper Support Rod 10lb 17" for the Hatch Just guessing on the lift force? and a hand held radio so I can talk to the tug boats.

[Azzarac]

We found a pair of Westmarine's Antigua binoculars under the tree!!

And don't forget to register your drone with the FAA!!!!!

Acually just remember to operate it in accordance within the regulations for Model Aircraft.

As mentioned, get your FAA number. It's $5 and I think refundable if you do it now. And know the regulations. Also, people are weird about drones. They seem to think these things are spying on them and want to shoot them down. There is a growing disdain for drone pilots. Be prepared for the police to be called on you from ignorant bystanders.

Also, check out the charger. The charger mine came with is total garbage. These Lipo batteries are weird. They need special care. Storage, balancing etc. And of course LiPos are known to explode so charge them in a safe location. I ruined 4 of them by not storing them with the correct charge.
