Hello, |

We'll it's time to take Gentoo on the boating excursions. |
| 4 |
sci-geosciences/opencpn is in portage and I'm going to the |
| 5 |
the Fl. Keys for a couple of weeks. [1] |

However, much of the time, the Gentoo_nav_hadware will be |
| 8 |
on a 17 foot boat (damp and salty if not wet) in search for |
| 9 |
those most treasured of crustaceans (lobster). So I'm looking |
| 10 |
for marine grade hardware onto which installation of Gentoo is |
| 11 |
reasonably straightforward. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Otherwise, I can use something like my PandaBoard (Rev A1) |
| 14 |
if I could find at least a 6" screen that works in |
| 15 |
very bright sunlight? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Any hardware input suggestions would be keenly anticipated. |
| 18 |
I've got about a month to prepare something. Garmin marine |
| 19 |
gear is just too pricey. PS, I can coat most electronics with |
| 20 |
a conformal coating. [2]. |

Let's get wet with ideas! |
