I think it's time to get an Iridium satellite phone. We're gong to
have way
too much time away from cell sites.

Any suggestions as to a cruiser-friendly source of hardware and airtime?

Thanks,
Rusty


It's my observation that people who have to have a phone so they can
blabbermouth 24/7 while out cruising should just stay home. If you need
to be plugged in to the communications grid 24/7 you're not cut out for
cruising - just stay home and leave the waterways open for real
cruisers, please. Today's men are turning into girly men. Bunch of
sissies. Spend the money on a EPIRB instead. Cruise and try shutting
your mouth for a week or a month. You might learn something for the
first time in your life.

Folks,

Don't feed the troll. Clearly this guy isn't worth your time.

Just kill file him or filter him out.

First of all, thanks to Tom for his response to my question.

Second, empathy is a human quality that allows one to place themselves in
anothers shoes and try to understand their viewpoint. What is 'Right' for
one person is not the same as it is for another. Those with the human
quality of empathy understand that. I must conclude Wilbur is something less
than human.

Third. This sure is entertaining!

Thanks

How about a Master Mariner license instead?

I'd say that says it all . . . My mentor, the World Famous Captain Neal.

If you had taken the photo from a little further away it might work,
but it can be read -- it is a 25 tonner for domestic inshore waters.

I believe that the OP was talking about a real ship officers license
with indorsement probable foreign going all tonnage.

Hey Willy -- you should tell yourse....er, "Capt Neal," that the license has
expired. No matter, we all have to start somewhere. Self-documenting sea
time for the 25 ton MM and OUPV license is as good a start as any.

He probably used an old license to post. He probably doesn't want his
current one with the number and all out there on the Internet for people
to try to counterfeit and use as their own.
