I went into Outlook Express and turned off the "include text from original message" and HTML code, just because of the complaints about replying to messages. However, I do prefer to have the entire post quoted because then I go back and delete the original. Thus, since I save alot of the postings to files, I have both the original and the reply all in one file, and sometimes even more replies. This reduces the number of files I save and helps me manage my database. Having said all that, I have a new cable modem connection with Road Runner and it is many times faster than even a 56k connection, which I still use. Also, when I receive a reply with a long original, I go write to the reply and if I get the slightest indication that it is a repeat and I am not interested, DELETE. This will be a sticky issue, but it should not be the end to the best free education on the web!!!!! Myles, still lookin.

Congratulations to the launch, hope it went well, it was a cute way of letting us know Uwe R

Paul, It is my belief that belonging to TWL relates as much to a way of life on the water as to a specific type of hull. As such, comments and discussions about power cats have been enlightening and helpful to me and IMHO should stay in TWL. Stephen

Although I can only attest to Ham radio licensing regs in Mexico, it may give an indication of what you are liable to encounter in some other parts of the world. It is correct that all countries have their own rules, and you should know what they are before you get there. Prior to departure for Mexico, I applied for a reciprocal Ham license at the SSCT (Mexican radio authority) office in Tiajuana. This entailed a bus ride from the border, but was only a few miles from downtown. I presented my US ham license and about $75.00 (a receipt was provided), for a six-month reciprocal license. Mexico recognized ANY ham license (Novice, Tech or General) as having the privileges of a US General License. That means that you can use many more frequencies than if you were limited to just the Novice freqs. Most of the Ham nets are held on the General frequencies, anyway. You are supposed to renew the reciprocal license at the 6-month expiration date, but I knew of some cruisers who just kept talking without paying another $75. There is now a group of Mexican ham radio operators who are policing the various ham nets, using current call-sign books and a computer list of Mexican reciprocal licenses, to find out who has paid their money and who hasn't. I don't know if any action is being taken against US hams with expired licenses. There are SSCT offices all over Mexico, so the only aggravation is paying the $75 every six months. And, it could be higher by now, since we left there in 1995. Baron Mathews Willard 30 "Ida B" Seattle

DGPS, (Differential GPS) will get you within 3-10 feet. I have mine so that it many times puts me right on. DGPS used to be an expensive option, unless you used it often and your life depended on it. Now, it is becoming so cheap, that it is silly not to get it. Remember, LORAN's days are numbered and even GPS has some political issues brewing, so do a little research before spending a bunch of time and cash. I used to own a LORAN unit, before I donated it to the local artificial reef program. I can probally get my hands on a few used units if anyone is into collecting antiques. The best backup to any navigation system, ask Christopher Columbus!!!! Myles

I recently purchased a Garmin 215D chart plotter and at first look it's a pretty wonderful device. Osprey also has an old SeaTek Loran that works well. However, the interface and functionality are so poor (relative to the Garmin) that I'm dumping it. I have a small handheld aircraft GPS that can serve as backup. That said, I'm hoping that the Loran system continues as I have a decent database Loran in my airplane that I'd like to continue using.
