    I totally agree with Grandma Rosalie,

    I've just returned from 19 months out and during this our third long
    distance cruise, the cost of communication had become a significant
    monthly amount. Besides pocketmail (i wouldn't cruise without it) I
    used a modem hookup through my cell phone. worked very well as long as
    one was along the usa coast. With cellphone and pocketmail our bill was
    well over $100.00 per month. This quickly precludes having
    subscriptions to any form of lists.

    Since one quickly gets irritated when you get a bunch of junk mail that
    takes hours to download, I've often wondered why email services don't
    allow you to view the headers first before downloading your email.
    That would go a long way to eliminate the junk in you mailbox. Is there
    away to do this?

    Fellow cruisers are always the best knowledge out there, hence the
    ritual of sundowners, started how many thousands of years ago?

    sea u,
