    Hi Bill,
    I got the estimate from Icom, Wash on the attempted electrocution of my 802 and tuner. It's about $1900! I can buy a new system from Defender for $2300.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ron

    Hi Bill; I wonder if you are still controller on the Cruiser's net if you could inquire about MarkJ in the Grenada/Trinidad area. Haven't heard from him for a while. His boat is "Sea Life". Thanks. Phil

    Hi Bill,
    from Florida I sailed my 36' cat (Whiskers) up to Maine last year and down to Trinidad this season without SSB/Ham and should probably get one (my wife is adamant about that).

    I thought I would run an extra wire for an insulated antenna.
    I'd like to find an inexpensive radio and probably get the minimum licence (which?) for a Ham radio.
    I'd like to go without an expensive PRACTOR.
    and avoid a bronze grounding plate. (there was one mounted and it ate up all the fiberglass around it and it was broken loose by hand leaving a big hole)
    I dont want to trouble you too much but would appreciate some comment of an experienced senior sailor.

    Hi Bill,
    I have an electrical question on AIC. I'm wiring a 12V 110Ah marine battery with 720 CCA. On the batttey sits a blue sea systems 80amp terminal fuse (with block) on the positive post. Four gauge wire then goes to a Blue Sea ST Blade Fuse Block.

    I was planning on wiring lights to the ST Blade Fuse Block, BUT I realized that the ATO fuses that blue sea sells have an AIC of 1000. The online calculator says I need a minimum AIC of 1500.

    Is this a problem and is there a way to address this economically?

    Thanks for the advice.

    I saw your GW-42 comments on sailnet. I've been looking on-line at one and wonder what problems/issues etc you could tell me of. In general I'm looking for a comnfortable boat that sails fairly well,

    Thanks
