Not a bass, but ...

The other day I was talking to one of my dock neighbors. He and his wife
are full-time liveaboards, and are really good folks. (Here's their
"yacht")

While we were yaking I happened to notice a guitar on his houseboat. Turns
out it's a late 50's vintage Guild 12 string and his pride and joy. He's a
country music type, but we plan to get together and hum and strum this
winter, serenading the fish.

He certainly has the right attitude about "yots" and those who frequent
"yot clubs."

Sorry to interrupt the usual drivel in here, but
I did want to report good customer service from Raymarine.

I have a Ray fishfinder/depthfinder on son of Yo Ho. I didn't think
the
display was bright enough, so last September I called and asked what
to
do. I was told to simply return the unit after the boating season
and
Ray's service department would look it over.

Sent the unit back last week, got a phone call Wednesday, told there
was
nothing out of the ordinary, but the company was sending a brand new
unit
just to make sure.

It arrived yesterday.

Cool.

Oh...side benefit...everyone I spoke with at Ray spoke English
properly,
with a solid Yankee accent!

I'd tell you what's paying for that great service, but it would turn
this
into a political discussion. It's enough to say that it's your tax
dollars,
and that you should buy as much RTN stock as you can afford, along
with
some

Aren't you the one who went all tin foil hat about some kids website a
couple of months back?

No. You must be imagining that.

Right now, explain how you came to that conclusion based on what I said.

No Joe, it was you. You freaked out and told us we were all
downloading some malware by clicking on the kids site. The kid post
the site every few months, been doing it for years... smerk...

OK. You're right.

Now, explain your tin foil hat bull****, and how it made sense as a response
to my stock suggestions.- Hide quoted text -

I think you see conspiracy where it is not, and I think your personal
politics leads your imagination.

Sort of like 90%+ of scientists that are lying about global warming?

No, only about 50%, the other 50% see it the other way. But as with
the 90% figure, we know that "your side" is willing to lie...

True, I'd have to agree with that. Why, are you a pothead, too?

Bill probably thinks pot is a gateway drug, orders of magnitude more
dangerous than booze.

He and Dan aren't bright enough to not accuse someone of something
illegal without any proof.

I am sure your experiences
with Furuno fishfinders on the flying bridge of your RV are relevant.

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.
