| That five-blast signal really puts you on alert—it’s like the maritime version of someone slamming on the brakes. Situations like this make me think a lot about how important it is to anticipate rather than react. Same goes for prepping a vessel for long-term use. I’ve recently been reading up on the best solar panels for 2025 - A1 SolarStore super helpful for anyone looking to upgrade energy systems on a boat. It’s one of those areas where doing a bit of homework now saves a ton of hassle later, just like holding position instead of escalating when there’s confusion on the water. | |
