We have the Furuno Navnet integrated system which includes a fish finder/depth sounder, radar and GPS plotter - separate transducer modules for each, networked into a common display unit. I installed it myself 3 years and 11,000+ nautical miles ago, and it has never skipped a beat. Mrs B is not exactly the world's biggest marine electronics enthusiast but she has nothing but good things to say about this system. Have you ever seen a professional crab boat on the Chesapeake that did not have a Furuno radar? I don't think I have, and that should tell you something. A "professional" crab boat? Hehehe. Most "professional" crab boats in this area, that is, crab boats with commercial licenses, are pretty small, 20-30', with very little in the way of electronics. Typically, they are low-sided inboards with only enough front cabin to block the wind and mount the hydraulics to pull up the pots. So, in answer to your question, yes, I have seen dozens of "professional" crab boats working the bay without a Furuno or any other brand of radar. Oh, I have a Garmin "integrated" 4208 system on son of Yo Ho, but I only use it as a GPS/Plotter, with a separate Ray fishfinder/depthfinder. For about the same money, I could have bought Furuno gear, but after many months of looking at units at high-end marine electronics stores, I was not that impressed with the competing Furuno units. And, as I posted, my previous Furuno fishfinder was somewhat of a lemon, both the head unit and the transducers. On the professional offshore fishing boats I have seen, Furuno, Ray, and several others have significant market shares. I don't pay much attention to the electronics on the RV barges. They're so slow moving, there usually is plenty of time to get out of the way of their semiconscious drivers. |

I was told to simply return the unit after the boating season and Ray's service department would look it over.

But as with the 90% figure, we know that "your side" is willing to lie...- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - [edit] American Meteorological Society The American Meteorological Society (AMS) statement adopted by their council in 2003 said: There is now clear evidence that the mean annual temperature at the Earth's surface, averaged over the entire globe, has been increasing in the past 200 years. There is also clear evidence that the abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has increased over the same period. In the past decade, significant progress has been made toward a better understanding of the climate system and toward improved projections of long-term climate change... Human activities have become a major source of environmental change. Of great urgency are the climate consequences of the increasing atmospheric abundance of greenhouse gases... Because greenhouse gases continue to increase, we are, in effect, conducting a global climate experiment, neither planned nor controlled, the results of which may present unprecedented challenges to our wisdom and foresight as well as have significant impacts on our natural and societal systems [edit] American Geophysical Union The American Geophysical Union (AGU) statement [11] adopted by the society in 2003 affirms that rising levels of greenhouse gases will cause the global surface temperature to be warmer: Human activities are increasingly altering the Earth's climate. These effects add to natural influences that have been present over Earth's history. Scientific evidence strongly indicates that natural influences cannot explain the rapid increase in global near-surface temperatures observed during the second half of the 20th century. Human impacts on the climate system include increasing concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases (e.g., carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons and their substitutes, methane, nitrous oxide, etc.), air pollution, increasing concentrations of airborne particles, and land alteration. A particular concern is that atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide may be rising faster than at any time in Earth's history, except possibly following rare events like impacts from large extraterrestrial objects. Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have increased since the mid-1700s through fossil fuel burning and changes in land use, with more than 80% of this increase occurring since 1900. Moreover, research indicates that increased levels of carbon dioxide will remain in the atmosphere for hundreds to thousands of years. It is virtually certain that increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will cause global surface climate to be warmer. American Institute of Physics The Governing Board of the American Institute of Physics endorsed the AGU statement on human-induced climate change:[12] The Governing Board of the American Institute of Physics has endorsed a position statement on climate change adopted by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Council in December 2003. [edit] American Astronomical Society The American Astronomical Society has endorsed the AGU statement:[13] In endorsing the "Human Impacts on Climate" statement, the AAS recognizes the collective expertise of the AGU in scientific subfields central to assessing and understanding global change, and acknowledges the strength of agreement among our AGU colleagues that the global climate is changing and human activities are contributing to that change. [edit] Federal Climate Change Science Program, 2006 On May 2, 2006, the Federal Climate Change Science Program commissioned by the Bush administration in 2002 released the first of 21 assessments. Though it did not state what percentage of climate change might be anthropogenic, the assessment concluded: Studies ... show clear evidence of human influences on the climate system (due to changes in greenhouse gases, aerosols, and stratospheric ozone). ... The observed patterns of change over the past 50 years cannot be explained by natural processes alone, nor by the effects of short-lived atmospheric constituents (such as aerosols and tropospheric ozone) alone.[14] And on and on........ |

"Booze hound" or "drunk" are more commonly used to describe someone whose use of alcohol has reached the point of habitual abuse. There are people who partake of marijuana at levels similar to someone who has a glass of wine once or twice a week. Nobody would call those people drunks, although they might GET a little drunk from that glass of wine under certain conditions. Oh. I didn't realize Bill was expanding the term 'pothead' to include anyone who tries the stuff. I would put 'pothead' in the same category as 'alcoholic'. I have a great party entertainment trick. Invite me to a party, light up a joint and watch as I puke. Yep. The smell of that crap burning makes me puke. Everytime I have been in its presence. |
