Small cruising boats are better in the Bahamas
 

http://www.noonsite.com/Countries/Ba...rc=Formalities

The cruising permit fee went up from 100 bucks to 150 bucks for
a year's cruising in the Bahamas for boats under 35 feet. For boat
35 feet and over it the cost tripled from 100 bucks to 300 bucks.

Hey, Jeff, what is the LOA of your catamaran? Bwahahahahahaah!

S.Simon - only has to pay 150 bucks for his Bahamas trip this
winter, spring and summer.

18 feet! But it has a beam of 36.

Actually, it was designed as a 34 and the transom steps were added. Most of the original
34's had steps retrofitted. I wonder if they could have been hinged?

Can't - it's still hurricane season and I also have to get my Master's
license renewed. I just completed the small vessel sea service form
and I have 389 hours documented in the last three years. That six-
month Bahamas trip is really necessary to pile up the hours. Gotta
go again this winter for another six months for sure.

What does "documented" mean? I usually log about 2000nm a year. Have you
really only done 1600 miles in the last three years???

Documented means I took the time out of my log and entered
in onto the sea service form to be submitted with my renewal
application. Let's see, if I averaged about five knots then the
miles you came up with is about right.

However, this is miles on my sailboat. I also have as much or
more hours on my skiff and they count but I did not document
them because they weren't necessary because you only have
to show the minimum plus you have five years to show it but
what's the use of clogging up the envelope with extra time
when it's not necessary.

The real problem I have now is my stupid blood pressure.
I checked it today at the grocery store pharmacy where
they have one of those automatic machines and it was way
high. Looks like it's a month of Adkins diet to knock off
twenty pounds and miles of bicycle riding to assist and
gallons of water to drink to wash away all the poisons.

With a reading of 140/93 I doubt the doc will pass me.
I can get it back to 120/80 with the above routine as
I've done it a couple of times before. No salt, no beer,
no sugar, no caffeine - no nothing basically except
protein and a handful of raisins or an apple plus an
aspirin a day plus a multivitamin with minerals and it
will be so low I need not worry about flunking the physical.
The secret is lots of exercise and lots of water and keep
the calories below 500 a day and the weight just flies
off.

It's a good wake-up call at any rate. I don't want
to pop a vein in my head or something.

First off don't believe those machines. Second , if you use them always take
three readings and do an average. A slight surge in adrenalin will boost
your numbers by a good margin.... like the fear of a poor result.
We have an electric BP gauge at home due to my parent's health regime... I
drink and smoke... my BP is near perfect every time. I've even taken my BP
when drunk and it wasn't out of the "normal" parameters.

Sounds like you're going to adopt a California Tree Huggin' Soy Munchin',
wheat germ eatin', vitamin poppin' lifestyle to get you back in shape for
perusing your supposed "conservative" lifestyle..... sounds really GAY!

You might be right. I took my BP on the same machine after
my 20 mile bike ride and the reading was 130/83 so it's
getting better already. I'm still going to knock off 15 pounds
to be sure though. I want it 120/80 max.

Rick,

Hey you ridiculous weenie, did you never figure out that stress
is relieved when you vent? I can tell you're one of the anal
retentive types who prides himself on not showing any normal
emotions. It's people like YOU who end up with heart attacks
and strokes - not me. It's people like you who deserve them
for wishing them on others.

I'm not afraid to express my disgust with ignoramuses like you
and most of the other pretenders who plague this group with
asinine comments and failue to ever sail. Some even think
having a restored tugboat is something to be proud of. Ha!
What a joke that is. How stupid is it really to restore a
motorboat? And, for what reason other than to have an
object that other ignorant idiots can make comments about
like, "nice brightwork", "such shiney brass", "spotless decks"
etc. all indicating a total ignorance of what a working boat
really looks like. Any old show-off fool can spend all his
time restoring some old boat that never does anything but
shows. Real sailors live aboard and sail their boats. The
show is all in the go. Real systems that work and show
wear and tear of voyaging are the mark of a real boat -
not some stupid, stay-at-the-dock, carpenters nightmare.

But, you'll never understand sailboating and sailboats because
you're just another motorhead with an ego almost as big
as your fat ass. Sod off you ******!

One asprin is too much. Half an asprin is plenty. Also lay off the booze.

That's not terrible, but it's not great either. Of course, mine
is quite below normal... 95/60 is typical, with about 69 bpm.

That's low blood pressure and will lead to gangrene
of the extremities at worse and just having cold hands
and feet at best.

Check this out:

A large scale government funded Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial
(MRFIT), which was a study costing more than $150 million dollars,
found that the coronary mortality was 70% higher in a group of
hypertensive patients that received aggressive treatment when
compared to a control group who received no treatment. (MRFIT;
Risk Factor Changes and Mortality Results, JAMA 246:1465-1477)

So this study is saying that those who did not take the medications
lived longer then those who did.
