I have a friend who supported ICW migration for many years by doing
transcription typing (receiving audio tapes, sending back floppies). They had a
computer, with a laser printer in the '80s. The fall of the Soviet Empire ended
that; now she does knitting.

Did you really mean to say "roasting"? As far as I know, I'm the only one who
roasts coffee on board. Its actually quite easy - 8 minutes in a $25 Whirly-Pop
on the BBQ gives you half a pound of the freshest coffee you can get. Very high
quality "green" beans are cheaper than mediocre roasted, and they stay good over
a year until they're roasted. The Whirly-Pop Also makes great popcorn.

hi
i was cruising around a remote part of the coastline last week and struck
up a friendship with a couple who supplement their income by selling hot
coffee, from their yacht. their customers include kayakers and surfers,
and anyone else who happens to smell the roasting coffee. i manage to get
by fixing computers etc for folk afloat.

what other novel ways do cruising folk help pay for the addiction?

cheers
bruce
