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!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

That's only ONE of many "problems" you've got, Nil. It's obvious you
don't handle pressure well ... look at some of your kneejerk posts!

Besides, like I said before, your little toy MOTORBOAT license is worth
the same expired as current so who really cares, you can't use it 'cause
that's all you've got ... a piece of paper.

Have a nice relaxing day.

"Captain" Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

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.
