Andre's borther Mooney, a narc cop, brought some night vision goggles to Port Eads one time. We were doing pretty good on a rip about 60 nm east of Port Eads, so me, Andre, Mooney, & Lyman the G-Man left out of there on AJ about 3:30 am. I made it out the pass into the Gulf OK on the radar while Mooney was fiddling with the night vision goggles. Could not see a thing thru them, so he fiddled some more. It got light about 5:30 and he's still fiddling with the knobs, the batteries, etc. and Lyman notices he still has the lens caps on.......duhhhhhh.

There has been a spate of fatal accidents down here where commercial boats have run over private vessels inside the harbor. The official accident reports are blaming the victims....third accident two weeks ago (total of 11 innocents dead in 18 months) so I'm gonna make a submission to the coroner, amicus curae.

All vessels involved have been operated from inside, at speed, at night. Making it worse some of the windscreens on the ferry fleet are raked and tinted yet this doesn't rate a mention, though illegal (USL Code).

Having driven hundreds of boats at night on the harbor there is no way I would drive from inside, or if I have to I stick my noggin out a window, door, roof-hatch or anything to avoid looking through the windscreen.

In my opinion that is the cause. These blokes know no other way so the FLIR technology would be a sensible investment. There are a lot of vested interests behind the official accident reports so this will be interesting.

Im pretty sure it cannot be exported.

Seeing that system on brews boat was incredible, its a lot of cashish but I think its worth every penny...

I'd be interested to know from those that have seen it work/used 'em...can Capt. Homer Simpson turn it on and watch it and see unlit boats in his path, or another fatality, can you see a dinghy when you are heading into the morning sun?

Nic,

The technology is complex, but use is pretty simple. Pretty much the same as any CCTV camera/monitor system, except in infrared spectrum. Longer than visable light, shorter than microwave... Any bright visable light entering the camera will be transmitted as a ultra bright blaze on the monitor, so into the morning sun is no good. Strictly a very low light tool. Cool tool at that.

Br,

Patrick

Thanks Capt. Pat....you would think any professional ferry master would not head straight into the morning sun...but he did.

Nic,

I know all too well about that morning sun thing...

I T-boned a Toyota on the way to the boat yard with my Dodge Ram, thanks to a blast of morning sun that flashed through a gap in the trees. No major injuries, moderate repairable damage to the Ram, totaled the Toy.

Br,

Patrick

I think the problem with any of the Gadgets is you still have to be "looking". Ferries are plagued with a monotonous run then add some darkness and the problem intensifies.

Nic I think everyone has answered your questions. I love it and think it is one of the best safty tools you could have. I payed 4000 for the camera and 2300 for the screen. My sceen is large and has many buttons to ajust to make the picture perfect in most all conditions. It works like a tv just turn it on and your all set. Good luck and if you need anything feel free to ask.

Brewster Minton · Post by **Brewster Minton** » May 13th, '08, 08:24

Nic, I think if you get the FLIR get it its own screen. Many people have the pictures come up on their GPS or Northstar. If the sceen is not big it defeats the reason for having it. My 2 cents

There was also a discussion on FLIR last year: http://www.bertram31.com/newbb/viewtopic.php?p=11353
