You and your wife know the ocean.
This is not your first rodeo crossing from Miami to the Bahamas, you’ve made it gazillion times. Both of you are experienced adventures and you also know the unpredictability of the Gulf Stream.
It’s no joke.
You are not a fool.
The ocean is powerful and relentless.
And, you know one thing, if you are heading out, you better be prepared.
Your wife, a wise woman, shows you a new addition to your boat, a multifunction display, who she describes as a guide and a safety net for your trip. The Furuno TZtouchXL.
The night before sailing, you do your homework. You open the gadget to check the current, waves and wind.
You realized the wind is out of the north.
Gulf Stream currents, plus strong southbound wind means bad standing waves. This can push you off course in seconds.
“The ocean is undefeated, give yourself every advantage you can” – a wise sailor said.
You learned your lesson.
Next morning, the weather is perfect. Nice wind and calm waters. You sail to your adventure.
In front of you is the navigation system, you can see real time updates from radar views of any boats near your way.
You decided to make a stop and try the BathyVision to map the underwater landscape and find some fish.
You catch a blue marlin.
Both of you are happy.
As you go back in route around reefs, the Furuno TZtouchXL’s Risk Visualizer keeps you aware of every potential hazard.
You arrive to the Bahamas coastline, safe and sound.
You kiss your wife in the forehead and said, thank you for equipping us before the trip
