Carib Run: Leg 1 Episode 7

Check out the new episode for our Carib Run series! We finally get out of Texas! And for those who are interested in such things, I do a detailed GEEK ZONE* run-through of how to plan and manage your trips with Waterway Guide Explorer and iNavX – a killer combo.

Don’t forget to check out our Patreon page! We have a Patrons-Only series there called “In Our Heads” that takes you behind the scenes to give you the real, personal ups and downs of doing this cruising thing from all three of us (Pepper just pants).

Also, leave comments or questions on any of our channels and we’ll be happy to get right back to you.

Enjoy!

This episode’s segment starts at 3:00.)
