Re: [Liveaboard] Energy Efficient Printers...

My Brother MFC 255-CW uses 23 Watts operating - I assume that is when it is scanning - 5 Watts on standby and 3 Watts in "sleep mode" (deep standby). One problem is that Brother tells me to leave the power on all the time, OFF = .7 Watts. It cleans itself out once a day automatically.

Re: [Liveaboard] Energy Efficient Electronics...

Exactly. However,one like mine, Brother MFC-255CW, requires that you leave it on all the time or the ink cart will dry out. Not a good use of power - and a good think to know if you are thinking of buying one. Philip On Fri, 2011-04-01 at 23:12 -0400, ahmet erkan wrote: > Hi Roy,

Re: [Liveaboard] Mooring a cat - WAS Considering a cat

This is something I have often wondered about. Unless the bridle is needed in order to spread the load onto two attachment points (i.e. strong wind or current), what purpose does a bridle really serve on a mooring ball? Granted, the bridle "looks" better, especially when used on a catamaran, beca

Re: [Liveaboard] Easy CG Boardings

Norm: Thanks for the checklist. My surveyor dinged me recently for not having a "garbage placard" so off I went to West Marine and got not only a garbage placard but also a pollution placard absolutely free. The WM guy told me it was the only thing WM has ever given away. They are hard to find

Re: [Liveaboard] (T&T: & TWL2:) Anchor Light v. Steaming Light

Norm: In your research, how many vessels have you seen flying their "motoring cones" that are required during daylight hours? I'm not sure I have ever seen one on a pleasure boat. Also, in a lot of anchorages, there seems to be an unwritten rule that you only turn on your anchor light if ti's LE

Stephen: I haven't used it, but someone at your local WM store should be able to tell you who makes this kit for them. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it turned out to be Ancor. Phil McGovern s/v Sunshine PDQ 36 On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 3:53 PM, Stephen Petri wrote: > Anyone have any experie

Paul: We're planning to attend the Annapolis SSCA GAM as well. Maybe we could figure out a way to meet up? Anyone else planning to be there? We'll be driving (yuck!), so if anyone needs ground transportation during the GAM, just let me know. Phil McGovern s/v Sunshine PDQ 36 On Fri, Aug 13, 2

OK, here's the blurb direct from the SSCA website -- www.ssca.org. I don't think it's connected to the boat show, but I could be wrong. Phil McGovern s/v Sunshine PDQ 36 SSCA Annapolis Gam at Camp Letts September 24-26, 2010 Online Registration Mail-in

Re: [Liveaboard] the list

Sunshine is here. We got splashed yesterday at Snead Island Boat Works on Tampa Bay and we're back aboard, Yippeee!!! After a couple of days of getting stuff sorted out here, we'll head down to Key West and probably around to Marathon. In early December, we will be bound for Isla Mujeres and, m

Re: [Liveaboard] iPad

Ed, et al: We used Navionics Caribbean on a Droid X all the way from Key West to the Rio Dulce and it served as a great backup for the chartplotter. For an app, it was expensive ($30.00 IIRC) but, for a "chartplotter: if was super cheap. As we went south, we reached a point around Belize where i

Vern: We like Westland Marina which is adjacent to the Titusville City Marina. It's a great DIY yard -- very laid back with very few rules and, yet, everyone behaves like adults. The staff is great and the community of boaters is very friendly and helpful. They do require a vacuum if you are san
