Yep...Scott Ingersoll. That's him.



Speaking about the Freak.....
I could have sworn I saw a picture of him with bigstyle ponytailed hair in
a
salt& pepper colour.
In that rescue video, it appears that his hair is that mousy brown colour
from one of the mens hair dye products.
Is he dying his hair now...and if so, why not pick a half decent colour?


Hey Don, have you ever asked Harry why he keeps the picture of Scotty
if he's so down on him?

I have pictures of my kids, grandkids, etc, but damn, I sure don't
keep a picture of 'guys' I dislike to flash around.

You'll have to ask him...but I'd guess that 'a picture is worth a thousand
words'!




Easily...it's a reminder of how short, fat, and stupid Scott Ingersoll
is, and points out the irony of his insulting others for what he
believes is their appearance. Ingersoll looks like a troll.

Oh well, to each his own, as they say!

Did not go. Got to the coast and tried to start the engine, nothing,
even with compression relieved, she would barely turn over. Brought
both batteries back to town, had em checked, both refused to charge.
Replaced em, may try again tommorow if the tides are right.
BTW, I am a safety fanatic. If someone is on my boat, they are wearing
a life jacket unless they are below. I always wear a tether when
alone or at night. Also have an EPIRB w GPS on my auto-inflate jacket
and a strobe.

Should wear a PDF as well as the harness. If a person is incapacitated
when they hit the water, or is otherwise incapable of getting themselves
back on board, all the harness and tether is going to do is keep the
corpse with the boat. The good thing about this would be it would save CG
funds since they wouldn't have to mount a wider search.
It would be hard to pull against the +/- 6kts (approximate hull speed) for
anyone. I guess optimum would be for the harness to be long enough so that
the victim ends up in the right position to reach a ladder that can be
deployed from the water.

That PFD might save your ribs from taking a beating if you bounce against
the hull.

I don't know much about these new fangled digital phones but with a
good marine antenna you could get out on an AMPS66 phone all the way
from Marathon to Naples and not lose service. If I went very far
offshore I would be looking into a digital phone with provisions for
an external antenna. The last time I tried it my old analog phone was
still working anyway. They just wanted some ridiculous amount per
minute to use it.

Yeah, but they work and work well.

Wayne has used APRS - an amateur radio tracking system to great
success - combined with Google Maps and Earth (the only thing Google
is good for in my opinion). If you did run into trouble, folks
tracking you using the service would have a recent position report to
work off of. I plan on using it on the Grady when we move south.

Then again, I also have sat phone backup. It may be expensive to use
per minute, but what's expense when you're in trouble.

Another choice has become available in the last year or so, the SPOT
device. The SPOT is a handheld unit that combines a GPS with a
satellite uplink transmitter. You can use it to send "help" messages
or to send position reports every 10 minutes which can be displayed on
a web site. Priced at $150 or so, it's not really a replacement for
an EPIRB but can be used that way in an emergency.

We used one to track our trip to the Bahamas last June and it worked
well. There are a few operational tricks that need to be learned but
by and large it is easy to use and does what it is supposed to.

I've looked at those - seems to be a neat device.

Does it track in real time like APRS does?

Almost real time. It sends up a position report every 10 minutes and
the track on the web site is updated almost immediately.

Here's some real time data from Skip and Lydia. They are in the
Abacos on their sailboat "The Flying Pig".

I can see the PFD doing that... but shouldn't the tether be short enough so
that you can't go in the water? What would be the point if that happened and
you were not conscious? You could have some in place around the boat, like
on the mast somewhere, so you wouldn't have to take yours off to reach
something.
