We are 15 miles from Shearwater BC, anchored and enjoying a few days of rain and cooler temperatures 🌡. Marti has been diligently scanning the shoreline at low tide for bears, and has pointed out many black rocks at great distances for me to see.

In boating circles, especially among those who prefer to travel far and into remote locations, the phrase " game changer " comes up frequently. Usually it is referring to technology that propels us forward to new levels of safety, convenience, or both.

Loran was a game changer. GPS after that. Smartphones with their own GPS means you can navigate with a phone or tablet anywhere in the world 🌎 that has detailed electronic charts.

EPIRB, Satellite phones, personal location devices with monitored SOS / emergency response, DSC over VHF, and now any app via Starlink - anywhere. Literally phone it in from the boat while watching Netflix among wilderness and glaciers. Weather with color animated wind and wave predictions - out 10 days ahead.

Underneath powering all this tech are LiFePO batteries 🔋 with 10 year expected lifespans delivering days of quiet anchorage, while powering refrigeration, LED lights, hot water, most appliances - even HVAC.

Its truly not roughing it anymore. It used to be "boat camping" with many inconveniences including zero cell service and short text satellite messages for weather alerts, or checking in with family. Now, the risk is not unplugging from the news cycle and noisy world to get that soul reset - the real magic of remote adventure travel.

The game changers have forever changed the game. What and how much you sign up for, determines the experiences.
