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 |

![]() 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! Gordon |

Managed to avoid them though. Peter I imagine that the point of the prohibited anchorage was to drive customers to the marina. 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. Wilbur Hubbard |

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. Sort of dampens the ardour a bit cheers |

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.
