With all the talk about wi-fi and cell phones, what is going to be
the effects on both when companies like Clearwire and Sprint Nextel get
fully geared up with wi-max. Clearwire is already available at a price,
of course, and in very limited areas but it is on the way!

I think the reason is VERY apparent, don't you?

Girls are nice especially those od African-Indian and Chinese mix but
I am informed that Trinidad has the highest AIDS infection rate
outside of Africa. According to one doctor approx 40% of young girls
are infected and they refuse to be tested as they do not want to know.

And condoms, French Letters or as the French call them "English caps"
are no guarantee against AIDS.


AIDS is an interesting subject I have read a lot about. Some American
doctor staked his government job and reputation on the HIV virus, which
humans have been infected with for tens of thousands of years before
AIDS.

This became so important to the National Institute of Health, it
developed into a little money pit Congress was willing to pour money
into.

Then, another group of doctors not infected with the money pit started to
point out that if HIV caused AIDS, every AIDS patient would have HIV
(They don't.) And, conversely, everyone with HIV would contract AIDS,
which is also not true. So, they are really not related, came the
uninfected-by-government-handouts conclusion. Of course, this turned
into a giant flamewar as billions of tax dollars had/are/are going to be
wasted on this false theory and, if anyone with common sense stood up,
heads at NIH would roll and not just the doctor that started it all.

So, here we have this giant bureaucracy hell bent on making everyone
think AIDS is caused by HIV, while thousands to millions die of AIDS that
don't have, or ever have had, HIV to blame it on.

Just like every other major disease the medical profession is milking for
every dollar (cancer/heart diseases/AIDS/stroke/etc.), the medical
profession cannot afford to find a CURE for any of them, which would,
like Polio, cut off the hand that feeds with its irradication.

They still don't know....or want to find out...what causes AIDS. It's
sure making a lot of people and corporations filthy rich.... If they DO
know, they're not stupid enough to divulge this secret and cut off their
financial legs they stand on.

Well people don't buy waterfront mansions, fancy cars, big yachts....sick
people do. That disease has REALLY infected America's privatized medical
profession. I worry whenever I hear about doctors buying body parts from
the Chinese. We might be their next target for the chop shop.

Peter, you gotta stop anchoring out like a hermit. Those girls waving
from
the docks are really worth the dock fees!....(c;


Door County Wisconsin transient dockage runs around $55-65 per night for
35
feet of boat ("Escapade"). All to supply my own hotel on the dock?
Anchoring
is free, and the shore is a short dinghy-ride away.


Hi KLC,
I don't know what the docking fees are here, I anchored until I cam up
on the hard but if you thin k your fees are steep, go to Europe 70
Euros $US 92) per night stern to quay plus water plus electricity for
a 40 foot boat and the tenable anchorages are getting harder to find.
Quite often you'd find an ideal sheltered anchorage on the chart
behind a point of land only to zoom in and find it marked as a
prohibited anchorage for no apparent reason. Nearby would be a marina.
Managed to avoid them though.

Peter

I imagine that the point of the prohibited anchorage was to drive customers
to the marina.

Wilbur you scare me. One evening I met someone like you at the Cape
Verde Islands. I noticed an un-manned inflatable drifting past my boat
and, knowing that it belonged to an American registered yacht upwind
of my position. I duly towed it back to him in my dinghy. As I
approached and called out the boat's name, upon coming to its side I
was presented with a pump action shotgun one foot from my face with a
verbal threat - :"freeze!!!"

It was not at all nice, and I had neglected to bring clean underwear.

Now that is just plain sad. Now I know why you
think Americans are paranoid. At least he didn't
shoot you.

BTW, I've also had a gun pointed at my head and
agree it is not at all a nice feeling. In my case
it was by a gung ho cop who was tresspassing at
the time, but apparently thought he had stumbled
upon a burglary in progress.

Frankly, in plain Aus-speak I say "**** your right to believe you can
shoot another human being if you feel threatened".

Well, he didn't shoot you thankfully. Maybe he
was smuggling drugs or something or possibly
taking them which led to his paranoia.

Still, you have to admit that if you are going to
run into some of those pirates you talked about in
the straits, that shotgun would be nice to have.
Remember the British guy that shot the pirates
attacking his and another yacht off Somalia a
while back? Personally, I'd rather avoid areas
where gunplay might be on the menu.

How about the right to shoot another human being who is trying to shoot you?

Come to Florida and anchor. The governor signed into law last August a
clarification of previous anchor law definitions. Basically, the new
legislation says municipalities may not restrict or control anchorage of
non-liveaboard vessels in any area other than in mooring fields. The law
also clarifies the definition of a "liveaboard" vessel. In effect, a
liveaboard vessel is one used ONLY for living aboard. If it can move and
does move from time to time, it cannot be defined as a liveaboard
vessel. If any law enforcement officer enquires if you are a
"liveaboard" just say no. Tell him you are a cruising sailor who lives
aboard while cruising but that your vessel is not your permanent
residence. They can't tell you to move on legally then.
