Boat Communications Equipment

I kept myself busy getting to know the boat systems, and I even went so far as to create an Exodus Systems Manual and took pictures to go along with it.    Here are some of the Communication System components.

The inReach.  This is a satellite communications device that uses the Irridium constellation of satellites.  Primarily we use it to track our location.  You can go to this webpage to track our location.  We can also send short emails and text messages.
