    Don’t flush shit and piss into the holding tank and it might stay fresher
    smelling. Use a bucket and toss the waste overboard instead.

  • Re: russian roulette in the caribbean
    Sail up through the Bahamas on the windward side of the chain of islands.
    You can always duck in someplace for shelter if a hurricane threatens. But,
    by October the chance of a hurricane is greatly diminished.
    Sailing the south side of Cuba would sure be the long way around. North of
    Cuba might put you in adverse currents from the Gulf Stream.

    May be bringing a 38 foot sailboat up from Grenada to Florida in mid
    October.
    It’s downwind all the way, and I’ll happily have some choices in routes ,
    and so, depending on what the hurricanes are doing I can either run south
    of Cuba, run just north of it, or work up the east side of the Bahamas
  • Bad Water
    The Water in the holding tank of my yacht keeps going bad. I didn’t
    have this problem when the yacht was new.
    During the winter my crew winterizes the yacht by putting red
    antifreeze in the tank. In the spring this stuff smells bad and we

    "Let me explain the problem science has with religion."
    The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks
    one of his new students to stand.
    ‘You’re a Christian, aren’t you, son?’
    ‘Yes sir,’ the student says.
    ‘So you believe in God?’
    ‘Absolutely ‘
    ‘Is God good?’

    The Wikipedia entry is correct. His pilot book for the Falklands had
    been printed and was being shipped out to the bookshops, when it had
    to be recalled.

    Hi Terje,
    We can use statistical methods once we achieve a high enough density
    of data in an area. Beofre that, we have to treat points individually,
    and just model the error on those points.

    Also, its interesting to note that the idea of "offical" charts is a

    charts until the early 1800’s, with the USA about 50 years behind us,
    and it took quite a while for ships to change over from privately
