The answer to your question is yes. You should get a membership card from MTOA annually. If not or you lose it you can print one off the website. Fred Sorensen OA 43 MTOA 3571 Sent from my iPad which is responsible for all grammar errors.

This is not precisely correct, although it may have been in the past. In the three years or so we've been members, cards are only issued when you first join, and after that your "renewal" card is electronic and must be printed from the web site. As Fred says, you can also print one at any time should you lose it or otherwise be without it. BTW, we've used our MTOA card to access several yacht clubs in the YCOA portfolio and consider it one of the principal benefits of keeping an MTOA membership. That said, the reciprocity rules are all over the map, so you really have to call each club in advance and ask what they offer. BTW, if they push back about MTOA not being a "Yacht Club" or that you need to have a "home club" with "facilities" to get reciprocity, you can just tell them you belong to the Lodge Creek Yacht club, which provides the underlying facilities for MTOA's reciprocal benefits. The LCYC is at Olverson's Marina on Lodge Creek off the Potomac and does offer dockage and other reciprocal benefits to YCOA participant clubs. -Sean m/y Vector lying Big Farmers Cay, Exuma, BS http://OurOdyssey.BlogSpot.com

I notice that most on-line news services now include automatic video when opened (i. e. CNN, Fox, etc) when traveling by boat, some RF access points (WiFi or cellular) may have limited bandwidth; or a total data byte limit. Most extreme, consider Bahamas Exuma parks. At North Wardwick wells (from memory) you pay $10 for daily access to their WiFi, 100 megabyte limit or 24 hrs whichever first; and they have a low speed satellite link to the network. Thus, anything which chews up excess bandwidth or data download is bad. I have been unable to determine how to turn off this function. Not sure if it is a browser function; or a function of the web site that I am looking at. Running explorer 11 on Windows 7 Any advice? Thanks Chet Defever 49 CPMY, Cygnet Daytona Beach, FL

If you query "how to turn off automatic play of videos" you'll get a number of links. There is one from PC World from Jan. that lists all the browsers. Bottom line it looks like IE is the worst approach and seems to work on a site by site basis. Really cumbersome.
