I'd second CruisingDad's recommendation to not ground if primarily coastal or inland, and ground well if going offshore or need an
SSB. BTW, why would you have an
SSB if you're not going offshore???
BTW, I'll take my chances with sailing...far fewer idiots out on the ocean than on the local streets.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
