Re: Northern Europe during Pandemic -- Summers 2020 & 2021 & onwards

Footnote? It isn't apparent to me. Official reporting in Maryland indicates 8.8% of population is unvaccinated and they make up 75% of hospitalized. The "isn't it sad" reporting indicates children,...

Re: 2 OR 3 BURNER RANGE?

A great deal depends on what sort of cooking you do. Dockside and at anchor? Or offshore? Are you a sustenance cook or more culinary?

In my last house I had a great six burner cooktop. I miss...

They like food and supplies also. Not a permanent solution. An expedient.

Re: Cargo Ship Parking Lot at Sea

Sure. But CA government did not have the integrity or intestinal fortitude to own their substantial contribution to the problem with the supply chain. Standing up would have given other states and...

Thank you for the links to articles in Nature. They're on my read list.

It isn't a matter of resources. Lots of perfectly good well running trucks turned away due to environmental regulations.

Re: Northern Europe during Pandemic -- Summers 2020 & 2021 & onwards

You did mention it. I suspect you are falling into the same sort of trap you warn against. Correlation does not mean causation. We know that sickle cell anemia is genetically linked to black people....

Re: Northern Europe during Pandemic -- Summers 2020 & 2021 & onwards

I think you're missing something important.

Note that I'm in the US and haven't been in Europe under COVID. Some things apply even if the context is different.

In many cases, people who work...

I just replied. I don't usually notice either, but I'm waiting for one from someone else.

Re: How to fly storm jib w/o 2nd headstay?

Sure. When you roll up the headsail the leech and sun cover wrap around the furler in a descending spiral from the head to the clew. Looking top down that's either clockwise or counterclockwise. Wind...

You put fear into its heart. *grin*

Does Digikey ship to the South Pacific?

I've had a couple of connectors that I couldn't source anywhere for less than 1,000 units. I did learn to ask about...

Re: ELCI with Isolation Transformer and Inverter/Charger

Not dangerous. Problematic for big loads like water heaters and A/C and drip coffeemakers.

Re: ELCI with Isolation Transformer and Inverter/Charger

True BUT not completely. Bonding comes to mind as a difference, and there are some differences in current leakage detection.

I'm a little sensitive to this as the owner of a CE boat in the US.

Re: Has anyone ever opened an Iridium GO?

Not a direct answer I'm afraid. I would bet that the connector is board mounted. Even if it is a through-hole part (and from looking at it I suspect it is, the board is going to be mostly SMD. You'll...

Re: How to fly storm jib w/o 2nd headstay?

I've run into a lot of sail configurations forward of the mast on delivery. Here is what I've chosen for my own boat.

I have a cutter-rigged sloop. The inner forestay is removable and stows at...

Re: ELCI with Isolation Transformer and Inverter/Charger

A thought based on the citations of ABYC guidelines: if you have a boat built to CE standards (which are regulatory while ABYC are not), you should make modifications in accordance with CE. Otherwise...

Re: It's 2022. What have you used your HF (SSB) for lately?

This may be another induction v. gas discussion. *grin*

Re: It's 2022. What have you used your HF (SSB) for lately?

The numbers I used are for Pactor IV. Pactor III is still 2.5-3 times faster than Iridium.

I don't know where you get exorbitant. That last time I ran numbers the payback time for increased...

Re: It's 2022. What have you used your HF (SSB) for lately?

Because they work? Because they aren't dying out?

The US Navy has been adding HF/SSB back to warships.
