My lights are also battery powered as is my music on board streaming bluetooth to a small speaker inside the cabin so as not to disturb the wildlife.

I do carry my cell phone for emergencies, such as a cardio problem for the 73 year old guy at the helm. Fortunately this area has a couple of maritime emergency contacts, both numbers programed into my phone, but no other electronics, even my nautical lights for after dark are D cell battery powered.

I took my M-15 out yesterday on a lake nearby and the peace without any phone or electronics was great. It was a 5-10kts day and we were the only sailboat out on a 85 degree blue sky day. The lake was mine. Loved it. Oh, and it was the maiden voyage for me and my 1980 M-15. All went well.

A big attraction of my M-15 is no electronics and when ever I sail it, I am out of contact with the internet. Steve M-15 # 335

I have driven across Washington State on HWY 20 and North Cascades National Park and stopped at the overlook on Ross Lake and wondered how my M-15 would be on the lake. I understand about needing my passport to access the launch at the North end of Ross Lake, but what about documentation for my M-15 and tow vehicle? Steve M-15 # 335

Yup, that's the one. He's active on the list so maybe you'll hear from him.

It's a long drive with about 30 miles of dirt road to get to the ramp, if memory serves me right.
