Default Radar for weather at NIGHT Was Radar on a cell phone

Hmm.. I have rarely seen T-storms at night, course my eyes are not that good
as some.

Foregoing Vitriol, raving and puffery deleted..

As part of keeping your log with regular observations at say even bells.
SOP in Lioness is to plot position and sweep the radar to look for vessels
and thunderclouds.

With 48 mile range you do get a good warning. A cell phone that gave you a
message on weather would be nice, yet does not work offshore.


Course if all you do is sail in category 4 water it is no biggie.
