Sat Phone!!.... Coastal!!!... Bwahahahahahahahahahaaaaa

Do you have a clue as to how ridiculous that is!

Nope. It costs very little and is only to be used in an emergency. Since
and
expensive system is on board, why not keep it operational? Cell phones
don't
always work and being able to make a call in a medical emergency seems
like a
good thing.

Obviously you haven't thought this comment through very well.......
otherwise you'd be as privy to it's ridiculous pretense as anyone here with
experience in Sat Phone Technology and it's associated costs.

Tell us Bob... what Sat Phone provider are you going to register with? No
.... please Telus!

When *did* he do that, anyway?


I'm not sure if I did or I didn't.

Wha?


Your trip reports could easily be fiction.


No, I have witnesses.

Then again,
since you wrote them, there is a problem. You probably don't have
the
imagination necessary to fake one.

Right, I'm not a natural liar like you.

Maybe he faked having a Siedlemann? Could he fake owning a Yugo next? Doesn't

A Sat Phone???? What the heck ?? Do you know how much a month it costs to
have a Sat Phone Activated ...... let's not even calc the rate per
call!


I'll have a small child on board. To keep the phone in standby is 90.00
per
month. I'll take that extra little safety net, thank you.

You frickin idiot... you have cell phone coverage that is ten times as
reliable as a Sat Phone!!!

How stupid are you Bob?

CM

He thinks that means taking a ****.


In that case, Scotty's his "watertank!"

Probably because Bob hasn't done any blue-water sailing in the
Atlantic,
even though he's had ample opportunity to do so over the years, by
his own
reckoning.

Don't really know much about Bob's sailing "history". I do recall him
bragging about not being a "9 to 5'er" on more than one occasion. My
thoughts have always been, if you have the time and are in a geographic
location to do a blue-water cruise, why not? I guess Joe hasn't been here
long enough to remember those posts. I suspect that Bobs done a lot less
sailing than he claimed he would.

So, John, are we to understand that you agree with Joe's post about no boat
under 200 feet ever needing a bow thruster? Or do you agree with me that in
some cases it's needed based on the vessel and docking situation?

Wrong, wrong, wrong. The Sat phone ALWAYS works here. ALWAYS. The cell does
not.
I like your dumb comments that are clearly based on zero experience with the
technology. I've actually had a Sat phone. Have you?

RB

BoB

Right, I'm not a natural liar like you.

Yup, we bust you EVERY time!

It's a rhetorical question, Ozzy.
