Roger, I think that is a truly excellent idea!! I have relayed it to Stephen Taylor, the ATSI Executive Director and to the person who reviews and approves Eagle Scout projects in Camarillo, California. Are you aware that your name and mine are variants of a millenia old German name that...

Both of you, thanks for the replies!! Bob, I'll relay what you said about the diesel not being in place in 1983 to the current skipper, as he says in his passenger briefings that the diesel was added in 1976, five years after S/V Bill of Rights was launched. We are using the Honda 20hp...

I am volunteering with the American Tall Ship Institute's (ATSI) tall ship "Bill of Rights" in Channel Islands Harbor in southern California. We use a Honda 20hp long shaft outboard motor on our inflatable dinghy. The dinghy serves as our bow thruster. See: http://www.americantallship.org...

With regard to the question about diesel outboard motors: There is a military program called "One Fuel Forward" which mandates that all military motors used in the field be able to run #2 diesel and heavy fuels such as JP-5 and JP-8. See: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ ...

If one had any connection to Naval Air and flying the F-14 Tomcat, like my cousin David Gerling for example, one name for a Tomcat power catamaran would immediately be a contender. The Tomcat community's proud challenge to all comers was always, "Anytime, Baby!" See...

charlie said: That depends upon the type of aircraft you are flying. A high school buddy of mine flew F-4 Phantoms for the Marine Corps. The Phantom was a good bird, but it had relatively small wings for its size and weight, and it had roughly the glide angle of a crowbar. My buddy said his...

Larry, I went to the FCC website: http://wireless.fcc.gov/commoperators/index.htm?job=rr You are correct. The RR is issued for life. My bad! Best regards,

Dr. Bob's information is correct. Perhaps I did not express myself clearly; it would not be the first time. :oops: The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit (RR) is the lowest grade of commercial license, and is valid for a period of ten years. The next grade up from the RR is the...

Actually, there are at least three grades of licensing that may be used to satisfy the requirement. The licenses are, in ascending order: 1) Restricted Radio Operator Permit (RR) 2) Marine Radio Operator Permit (MP) 3) General Radiotelephone Operator License (PG) See...

Francis Hamit went the self publishing route. Here is his website URL: http://www.brasscannonbooks.net/ The website name appears to come from a passage in Robert A. Heinlein's novel, "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress". The working title for that novel was, "The Brass Cannon". See...

Bob and Marie, Please accept my sincerest condolences.
