Just now looking at my manual. Icom recommends replacing the battery after 5 years even if it still holds a charge. Sal

Andy, I'm always surprised how long the battery in my M-73 holds a charge. I've had my radio turned on for hours during a paddle. I've not noticed any sudden, precipitous decline. I think Icom claims 10 hour battery life. I have an M-73 that's over 5 years old and the battery still holds a strong charge. I'd be interested to hear what other people have experienced. Sal

Great deal if it's in decent shape. If I didn't already have one I'd be looking into it.

I see that now JIm. I did see this one on ebay though. Price is on the high side but looks like it's available.

I found this. Seems to be the same compass different brand name. https://www.paddlerssupply.com/product/brunton-70p-compass/

I had no idea.

Great tip Sherry.

Complications you say? Who could have predicted that?

I haven't been to cranes lately but the greenheads are already out in the Merrimack river/Plum Island area. Pretty early this year.

My understanding is that Pavilion beach is "residents only" on weekends but during the week it's open to non-residents.
