What a thrill. I can hardly wait. Let's see here..... do must people reading rec.boats want to hear about Harry's changing the oil in his lawn mower, pumping out his septic tank and looking at his UPS shipment travel across country, or keep up with someone who is boating ...... You know, I have never met the guy, but Wayne is one of the better posters here, remaining polite and on topic. *If you aren't interested, that's fine. *I can understand impatience with some posters here, but if someone with a good track record posts something that doesn't meet your interest, consider cutting him or her some slack. *None of us are under obiligation to respond to every post. Get out on the boat . . . you'll feel better . . . I do 99.999% of the time. John GPS "spots" on a map? Takes a bit more to pique my interest. -- Yes, we know! Your complete coverage of the UPS shipment of freakin' printer was just jaw dropping! |

I checked on your progress last night. How come you were going in circles? LOL!! I was wondering the same thing when I checked. It's going to be interesting to watch that SPOT device tracking - I'm wondering how good it is compared to APRS which Wayne used before. I might consider getting one of those if it works well. |

... We are just setting out on a cruise to the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas. Anyone who would like to follow our track on the web can find it he http://share.findmespot.com/shared/f...fKADAn2Dkz os Cool, it looks like he's making good progress. Since the winds in the area are light and variable he must be motoring just like Skippy always does. It looks like he's coming my way. It will be interesting to see if he takes the Yacht Channel and proceeds out into Hawk Channel and the Straits of Florida via the Channel Five bridge or if he heads up the Intracoastal Waterway to Miami before jumping off to the Bahamas. This time of year, with thunderstorms popping up everywhere most every morning and afternoon he'd probably be better off motoring up the Intracoastal and waiting in Miami for some rare, steady winds for the crossing. But, if he's like Skippy he'll wait until a flat calm day and motor across with sails flapping for show. Wilbur Hubbard |

Frigging atmosphere and water polluting trawler! That's gross! It ain't "cruising" (RBC) unless it's under sail. Get a clue, mon! He needs to find the right newsgroup to post his motorboat crap. Rec.boats is suitable. Perhaps there's a rec.boats.trawlers? Wilbur Hubbard |
