In 2004 Brian joined one of our clients on a five-month cruise of the Pacific Ocean from Seattle to Auckland. Brian specializes in offshore communications, celestial navigation, windlass operation and repair, and the cruiser's diving needs. Brian's Tip: "If you or a fellow crew are SCUBA certified, I recommend a pony bottle [small air cylinder] with regulator be kept aboard for emergency use. It is indispensable when clearing a line fouled in a propeller, and can also be useful for a visual check of an anchor set in relatively shallow water."
