His name is Ron Miller Do you have an e-mail or phone number for this individual? I am looking at $99 for the TM-20 and $100 for Pocketmail (U.S.) unless I want to go the married route you suggested. But my single state is worth the $40 to me.

I think that you have actually a very good idea: to create a flag that indicates "Generator on Board", similar idea as "Diver Below" or "Quarantine in Effect" or "Pirates Present" (The Jimmy Buffet flag). Let's have some ideas from the list.

Decidedly so: MacMice have one button, one tail, one ball and one eye (in the shape of a partly chomped up apple). But our keyboard has one extra key - the command key - and once discovered, you'll never buy another WinTel machine.... George of Scaramouche P.s: "PocketMail", which many voyagers use falls in the category of "No Lengthy Quotes Please" since it uses Payphones or Cellphones (slow). However it has a neat option to read the subject lines and then mark only those posts you want to see. On the second access you then get those marked posts in full. Works very, very well! scaramouche1@pocketmail.com

Used to work for Sears and fix these babies after years and years of running on the farm. Some of the better models were made of bronze and should stand up to anything the ocean has to throw at them. Try it and report back in a year or so.

I use a layer of wooden lattice (builders supply) under my mattress. Lets air circulate and keeps moisture from building up. Been using it for 5 winters.

Jim, I'm not normally that dense { although there are those who would disagree ;-) }, but I can't visualize that position. Could you, would you give us a visual perhaps as a JPEG attachment? I would much appreciate (and maybe others too). TIA - George of Scaramouche P.s: My subscription to Practical Sailor started only a few months ago and I don't have the article you refer to. Perhaps, you could give the issue number of P.S. and I can then look it up in the library. TKS, Gg
