Does anyone know what is wrong with the SSCA web discussion board? Maybe I will break down and give them a call.
One observation in response to something Wally mentioned during the GPS thread; we have noticed that a lot of boats seemed to have not gone South this winter and are hanging around marinas and anchorages from NC to GA. I wonder what the boat count in Georgetown is this winter? Anyone heard anything? Another hurricane season like last year and a few more dockiminiums is all we need! Ha.......Does seem like more retirees are on trawlers and motor vessels (as opposed to sailboats) than in the past despite high fuel cost that probably are here to stay. Some some casual observations as the sun rises again over SV Tin Cup (oops, dense fog and no sun yet), happily lying near New Bern, NC.
Another random thought, we read where they are going to start producing laptops in Asia for under a $100 in order to provide this resource to third world countries throughout the world. Wonder how much they could build and sell a GPS chartplotter for; $40??!
Cheers,
Roger
