You serious? There are four major carriers in the US, at least three of them offer free nights and weekends, and at the biggest two offer unlimited free calls to anyone else on the same network. Heck, I know someone with a prepaid phone who even gets free weekend minutes and free calls to anyone else on his carrier!

I'm not talking about nights and weekends. Nights don't really help anyone, as they start at 9:00 pm for most companies and end at 7:00 am, missing the prime time to be awake and out sailing. Weekend minutes, free or not still don't account for the fact that you need to a) have the battery life on the phone, and b) have someone to talk to for that time. I'd rather be sailing. Also, cell reception in a lot of the waters I sail is flaky at best... you must sail only within sight of a major metro area if you're able to get good reception on your boat the whole time you're sailing it.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
