I have no problem. People might perceive I have a problem because I don't
believe in beating around the bush. I don't mind telling it like it is.
Political correctness is an abomination to which I do not subscribe. This,
combined with a very high IQ, abundant common sense and more than a decade

Man I love this newsgroup. Not only does it give me all the help and
advice so freely about anything I need to know but it also provides
fantastic entertainment.

Stops me getting lonely so far away from home.

No Larry, i usually do but now i'm in the yard.

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

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.

I don't use any weapon as an offensive weapon. The weapons I own are for
the application of deadly force in defensive mode. I am highly trained
in the martial arts and specialize in Gatka which is a weapons-based art
of unsurpassed lethality Woe be to him who challenges me with sword,
knife or club. But, for the defensive application of lethal force out of
the range of hand-to hand combat, few things beat a large caliber
handgun. There's little challenge and not much art to it but for lethal
force it's hard to beat.

My Gawd! I am being stalked. Please do not tell him where Trinidad is.

That's precisely why we don't give firearms licences to the likes of
this man.

In Malaysia where being in possession of an unlicenced firarm carries
the automatic death penalty, Prevention Customs officers (as opposed
to Revenue) are issued with a 9mm pistol and trained in its use as
well as our other weapons, the GPMG, M-16 and SMG. Even though these
men (and women) are often shot at on duty and have no compunction to
shoot and kill should they be fired upon, which happens quite
frequently in the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea, I have
met not a single one of my colleagues who has this Gung Ho attitude.
We want cool headed people.

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.

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

We all know how awful the range of the new girly cellular phones with
tiny little transmitters, no antennas, digital only that doesn't work in
the countryside or offshore, are....

Well, Motorola has a NEW answer! BRING BACK THE BAGPHONE WITH SERIOUS
POWER, but with the gummit mandated GPS, Bluetooth, digital internet (1X
only), in a MANLY, RUGGED way with big buttons, no girly frills noone
needs and a serious nature!

Meet the new Motorola M800/M900 series of GSM and CDMA, trimode, triband
mounted or bagged cellular phones.....(c;

Mast mount a 9db dual band antenna at 50' and this puppy's 3 watt (800
Mhz), 2 watt (1900 Mhz) legal-limit transmitter will connect you 50 miles
offshore of the nearest cell with REAL SERVICE. Don't forget you must
use MICROWAVE coax, not RG-58 or similar VHF coax. Local Motorola two-
way radio shops have the proper cables, connectors and can build you a
cable, and install it if you like.

Bruce! Up in Alaska there's a listed company already supporting it.
Look on the list of carriers selling it. This is the replacement phone
for the old AMPS bag/carphones country people have been jealously
guarding for years.

This phone was designed with emergency services, oil/gas industry, heavy
industries, military and other MANLY users in mind.

Sure would make a great, installed "Boatphone" at the Nav station you can
unplug and put in your pocket on your way down the dock....(c; There's
no need to go without cellphone service, just because you're not 2 miles
from a tower, any more.

BELAY MY LAST....IT IS NOT A REMOVEABLE CANDY BAR PHONE.....
I bought one. Alltel wants only $US99.99 with 2-year contract, a real
bargain off what Telus wants in BC.

Here's my first impressions:

OK, the bad news....It's NOT a pocket phone. The large (HUGE?) part that
looks like a big candy bar phone does NOT detach and become a pocket
phone as I thought. It's mounted solid to the main frame with 4 heavy
posts and connected with a big control cable to the beast under it. The
privacy handset, which activates and disconnects the MASSIVE 3x5" mobile
speaker, speaking through a grille cloth in the top end of the very nice
NYLON case, switches off Speakerphone, which comes on by default when you
press any key to answer a call...or...call out without removing the
privacy handset from its cradle. Speakerphone by default, private phone
when you pickup the handset. This may not be as bad a flaw as I thought.
I left "The Beast" sitting on the seat in my car and took just my
Motorola Bluetooth headset paired with it into lunch at a fav diner. The
Beast was plugged into the cigarette lighter socket, giving the 2.5AH
lead-acid camcorder gelcell it runs off of available for $12, not $95, in
any Walmart, its initial charge it doesn't need. Bluetooth range is
EASILY over 100' to my cheap Moto BT headset. I answered two calls from
the headset in the diner, listening to myself on the diner's landline
phone and walking around. BIG phones seem to have better BT radios than
tinyphones trying to save battery charge. I can leave the bag in the car
and take AND MAKE calls to my voice activated phone numbers (up to 20 of
the 500 it stores) from the headset.

Did you have a V-series Moto cellphone? If so, you don't need any
instructions. The M800 uses the same chipset as the trimode V60 series
with the same interface and brightly lit blue monochrome display...just
bigger (HUGE?). Simple, to the point, rock solid. The big candy bar
part has BIG buttons for BIG hands (MANLY!) with a BIG display I can
finally read the time on WITHOUT my glasses. Thanks, Moto.

Sick of not hearing your cellphone ring? M800 sure solves that problem!
Audio must be about 5 WATTS...Ringing on level 7 will impress a whole
auditorium full of rock concert goers! It comes with about 20 ringtones,
including many "tunes". It will be no problem hearing it ring anywhere
in the boat with the diesel running. Unfortunately, there's no car horn
output relay...but I can't have everything from the IMTS days...(c;
Audio in such a big speaker talking to someone on Speakerphone is VERY
impressive and VERY hifi for CDMA. The boss' booming voice will have
plenty of bass and effect when he's ****ed off. I took it for a ride in
my noisy V-8 diesel Chevy stepvan, just sitting on top of the dash.
There's no problem hearing what anyone you're talking to is saying and
though, of course, they hear the truck noises, they have no trouble
hearing you. The "mic" on the speakerphone is one of those big Motorola
square, rugged microphones mounted next to the candy bar on the
mainframe, out of harms way. This thing also comes with a visor-clip
remote microphone on a long cord, really heavy duty stuff (MANLY?)that
plugs into the control panel next to the standard USB camera jack where
your computer plugs in. TWO speaker mics - standard equipment.

The Case(S). There are two cases that quickclip together, phone on top,
accessory case clips to the bottom for transport. The accessory case
contains the BIG quick charger, the extra mic, the books, a STEEL battery
case for a second camcorder battery, the standard 12V car charging cord
which is also built like cop equipment (MANLY?). If you're going to
leave it in the car, leave them clipped on top of each other and it makes
a DANDY center arm rest with built-in speakerphone....just the right
height. Sorry, no cup holder....

Antenna and connector. The webpages I read said the antenna connector
the big, foldup rubber duck is attached to was a "mini UHF". That's not
what's on my Alltel M800. It's a heavily-built TNC, the screw-in BNC.
This works out better for me because my truck antenna already has a TNC
connector on it. She's ready to go! The rubber duck is a 3db, very
heavy, with a hinge on top of its connector you fold down when you close
the padded Velcro nylon cover. The connector points "up" from the normal
phone position, and is recessed beside the privacy handset to prevent
tearing up the connector or coax. Moto forgot to put a hole in the case
to route the coax out of it through, a small matter...

My Alltel rep could read the phonebook out of my V60i, but had no USB
plug for this brand new phone to load it with. So, he was nice enough to
put both the phonebook in database and txt files on a floppy so I could
load the phone with Motorola Phone software from my computer on Bluetooth
or through the USB cable. WinXP identified the phone when I plugged a
standard USB camera cable into it, plug n play. Moto Phone Tools will
load it tonight....as soon as I figure out how to read a 1.44MB floppy
into computers that no longer have floppy drives...(c;

Voicemail, SMS, etc., work exactly like a V60.

AS soon as I decide I'm going to keep it (15 day return ok), I'm going to
sew the carrying handle differently. Motorola carries the phone laying
down and that makes it TOO WIDE for comfortable carrying. The nice,
padded shoulder strap also carries it flat, not vertically. It's stupid.
I'm going to sew the handle to the left side ends so it carries with
battery down/plug panel up, like the old bagphones. The carrying handle
only needs another set of metal rings to reposition where it connects to
accomplish this. IT DOESN'T WEIGH 10 POUNDS...unless you carry all the
accessories and accessory case with it attached to the bottom of it,
which is absurd. With the battery, I'm guessing 4-5 lbs. We all need
the exercise...(c;

A required FCC warning sticker near the antenna warns you MUST be at
LEAST 20cm (only 20cm??) from the antenna when you make a call.....too
funny.

Well, more reports after I use it some more. I sold another M800 to
another old bagphone lover while registering mine. He has an AMPS
bagphone he's had for many years on Alltel, as one of their oldest
customers. He hunts in rural SC where AMPS is king! Tonight, he has
retired his TX200 for his new M800. He's number 5. I'm number 4 sold.

This will make a GREAT phone for motorhomes, yachts, vacation homes at
the beach, but not for backpackers (the ones not masochistic, that is.)

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.

Thanks for for the update Larry. I have been meaning to Skype you,

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.

He was originally a postman, until they wised up and ran him off.
Claims he sails a modest, mustard yellow sailboat with purple interior.
He has to keep 'cruising/gunkholing' beause no self respecting yacht
club/marina wants him tied up at their slips.
