200 or so miles east of Hawaii . . . .there are zero 7-11's. Worse no
package stores or microbreweries. But there are refurbished mail buoys.
Now I wonder if Seaborne Express takes Visa?????? On the batteries I'm
trying out to new toys. One is a standard 110 battery recharger via an
inverter (same one that I use for the laptop) that handles four AA or AAA to
full charge in 15 minutes. The other (two versions) are similar except
solar powered. One is the standard box arrangement and the second looks like
a flashlight with a mini solar panel along the side. Got that from a friend
in the alternative energy business. Juries still out on those devices.
Looking for one that runs off of 12 volt direct. Any recommendations?

As for the Seaborne Express comment . . . .any real sailor knows the story
so it shouldn't need explaining.

Cheers
