help is only a message away. I am getting an Acer sub notebook, but that is all I know, my computer guru back in VT is setting it up for me, so I don't know the model or specs. I told him what I wanted it to do and he is doing the rest. I am going to use some more free wireless time at the coffee shop in Marsh Harbor checking out all your recommendations. Then back to the boat to sew a sun cover on the genoa I brought back from my recent visit to VT. As an aside, early tests show the genoa giving me about a knot more boatspeed than the previous yankee and staysail. I am pretty sure the genoa will stay on the headstay and the staysail will be relegated to heavy air use with the genoa rolled up.
The photo shows Piscator at a popular beach bar in the Abacos, where we downed quite a few blasters. There are many more locals there now compared to ten years ago, when it was mostly boaters, but of course you can arrive by car now.
