--------------------------- AH> iii) Mo(A) 6s RZ> Light, morse code A, period 6s Yup. It's a lateral system fairway marker found in channels or landfalls. Colours are red & white, with a white light flashing "alpha" (dot/dash) indicating navigable waters surrounds it. ------------------------------- AH> iv) (VQ(6)+LF1) 10s RZ> (VQ(6)+LFl) 10s RZ> Light, group of 6 flashes very quick + long flash 2s or longer, together RZ> period 10s Yup. I don't know what you mean by "together periods" though... I call them "separation periods". That is, the time space inbetween the groups. This one is a South Cardinal marker with the same location schematics as the East marker except south instead of east. -------------------------------------- AH> v) Oc (2) 20s RZ> Light, group of 2 occultings, period 20s RZ> Found at INT1 Chart, International Hydrographic Organization, Monaco. Hmmm, you got the description spot on, but I must confess I don't know anything else about it's name, location, nor useage. ------------------------------- RZ> Do you have another one? okay, how about: a) Iso 2s b) Al and for some non-lights, what are these cans (some Canadians might have trouble with these ones :^) ca) white with red top, no number cb) white with black top, no number Since we're having fun with this, I'll post other quiz q's over the weekend to help everyone out in case it's still raining :^) BTW, none of what I tap is absolute gospel - in otherwords, I don't hold a captain's license, so please feel free to correct me if there's any error :^) Cheers, Augustin~~~=== National Yacht Club, Toronto - S2STOR - S2SVCR ...

Inflatable boats up to 10' are sold mail order by West Marine, M&E Marine supply, and probably others. As for kit sails, here's one company I have seen ads for in Latitude 38: Sailrite 305 W VanBuren St Colimbus City, IN 46725 (800)-348-2769 Note: I have never done business with this outfit, and know nothing about them, other than what their ad shows: They sell kits for sails, rigging supplies, sailmakers hardware, and sailmakers sewing machines. --- HyperMail! v1.22 * Origin: Omni - (916) 388-0905, longest running Sac BBS (1:203/3333) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 254 SAILING Ref: DFK00004 Date: 11/14/96 From: LAURENCE CHARLOT Time: 10:31pm \/To: ED RAMPONE (Read 2 times) Subj: Re: electrolysis -=> Quoting Ed Rampone to All <=- ER> Does anyone know if there exists a system which may be wired on board ER> a metal hulled boat, to monitor the flow of current caused by galvanic ER> current? I have read about something like this, or maybe seen an ad for similar instrumentation in a marine supply catalog.
