Re: Cost for delivery skipper

I don't agree. I cost $400/day plus travel, expenses, and provisions. Have about as much work as I can handle. On the other hand I don't have too much trouble getting cheaper crew.

Re: Getting sanitation hose over fittings

I soak the hose ends in the hottest water I can manage for several minutes to soften and expand the hose. Smear a very thin bit of light grease on the hose barb. Shove hard.

See my post #12 in this thread. You are best served to use a Signalink USB external sound card (about $100US). YOU WILL NEED A GENERAL CLASS HAM LICENSE OR BETTER TO USE WINLINK. For reciprocity in...

Re: E-Mail while crusing

True as far as it goes.

We can break e-mail and Internet communications down into three categories: very short range, short range, and long range.
