I also note that today many folks do things that are not within the practice of good seamanship, such as making long offshore passages with no celestial backup (sextant and tables and know how to use them) but they DO have a liferaft and EPIRB, they do these things because "everyone else does it" which is not a very good reason.
Heck, some couple came through here recently having crossed the Pacific with only one GPS for navigation....but they INSISTED on a new, heavy, expensive generator because "it was used by all their friends"! Just asking for trouble, IMHO. Bad habits will extract the price sooner or later. There is always a solution other than doing the same thing everybody else does.-Ken _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
