It makes it a bit tougher that way :^) You were not only able to recognize the codes (symbols) as navigation aids, but you were also able to decipher a few. That's really pretty good :^) I posted definitions to these in a message to somebody else a couple of posts back so I probably shouldn't post them again. I've got some real good navigation questions that I think I'll post a bit later for all you guys that don't sail in the rain :^) Cheers, Augustin~~~=== National Yacht Club, Toronto - S2STOR - S2SVCR ...

AH> ... but you didn't mention "where" these AH> marks are usually located, ie: what type of waters. Kinda important to AH> know for "real" seamanship :^) Right, but i didn't worry about this, since having always a chart onboard :) The other side is, that i remember the categories of lights described as somewhat like "usual used for", so i'll never assume that it's a must. AH> Got that one too. I didn't think anyone would get the "unwatched" AH> part :^) Ok, sitting in my well heated room and studying the literature, looking through the rain dropped window, having a beer ... i'll get it sooner or later :) AH> Also, the AH> elevation would be from "mean high water" as opposed to chart datum which AH> is sounded at "mean lower low water". Sure? The INT1 chart said chart datum, i remembered it this way, only the chart datum itself will depend on the region . RZ>> (VQ(6)+LFl) 10s RZ>> Light, group of 6 flashes very quick + long flash 2s or longer, together RZ>> period 10s AH> Yup. I don't know what you mean by "together periods" though... I AH> call them "separation periods". That is, the time space inbetween the AH> groups. Oops, never heared about that. Just the period is defined as the length of one entire (over all) signal cycle (i.e from the one beginning to the next). RZ>> Found at INT1 Chart, International Hydrographic Organization, Monaco. AH> Hmmm, you got the description spot on, but I must confess I don't know AH> anything else about it's name, location, nor useage. Hmmm :) prehaps i should remark that the people here * (or some of them) like to have everything ensured. So you have to have a licence to sail, and to get it you need tons of paper to know. One if the first for offshore is that INT1 chart. The other hand is that there are anyway lots of people on the water where you must assume that they have never heared about anything. * i'll not sell out the county :) AH> okay, how about: Ok, since i have seen the first snow today, i'll try again.

THIS IS NOT A SCAM, THIS IS LEGAL Reading this may seem to be a waste of time, but it isn't. If you want a lot of money fast READ THIS!! Take five minutes to read this and it WILL change your life!! I just read an article in an internet newsgroup describing how to make $50,000.00 in only one month from a $5.00 investment. Of course I thought this was rediculous, or some type of pyramid. I talked it over with my family, and attorney, and my friends, and they all agreed it was some sort of scam. I hate scams becuase usually someone gets burned, and I didn't want it to be ME! I blew it off for a few weeks then saw another one in a newsgroup I go to a lot and thought, "Maybe this IS legitimate!". Besides, what's $5.00, I spend more than that in the morning on my way to work on coffee and cigs for the day. Well, two weeks later, I began receiving money in the mail! I couldn't believe it! Not just a little, I mean big bucks! At first only a few hundred dollars, then a week later, a couple of thousand, then BOOM! By the end of the fourth week I had received nearly $47,000.00. It came form all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly legal and on the up and up. I've been able to pay off all my bills and still had enough left over for a nice vacation for me and my family. Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as well. Markus Valppu says he made $57,883 in FOUR WEEKS!! Dave Manning claims he made $52,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says it was only $17,000 for him. Do I know these folks? No, but when I read how they say they did it, it made sense to me. Enough sense that I'm taking a similar chance with $5 of my own money. Not a big chance, I admit--but one with incredible potential, because $5 is all anyone ever invests in this system. PERIOD! That's all Markusm Dave or Dan invested yet their $5 netted them tens of thousands of dollars each, in a safe, legal, completely legitimate way. Here's how it works in 3 easy steps: STEP 1. Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five separate pieces of paper along with the words, "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." (In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.) Fold a $1 bill, money order, or bank note inside each paper, and mail then by standard U.S. Mail to the following five addresses: 1. Bill Brown, 148 South Downlen, #796 Beaumont, Tx. 77707 2. Marco Monet, 409 N.E., 107 St., Miami, Florida, USA 33161 3. BW, 11 West Seneca Circle, Geneseo, NY 14454 4. Jason Segal, 5961 Glenhaven cres., Norfolk, VA 23508 5. Abu Hasnat, C/o Aminullah, CSC Eng., POB 4545, Dubai, United Arab Emirates STEP 2. Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other names up. This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put YOUR NAME in as the fifth one on the list! STEP 3. Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are at least 17,000 newsgroups at any given moment in time. Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can. Remember, the more newsgroups you post to, the more people will see your article and send YOU cash! STEP 4. You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the Internet is new and huge. There is NO WAY you can lose. Now here is how and why this system works: Out of every block of 200 posts I made, I got back 5 responses. Yes, that's right, only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or money orders, but real cash with your name at #5. Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 200 additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings! On average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at #4,....$50.00 in your pocket! Now those 50 new people will make 200 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500. They make 200 postings each with your name at #2= $100,000. Postings=5,000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in CASH!! Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings each with your name at #1 and you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 200 postings! As you can see, the potential of earning a lot of money for only $5 is great!! But, in order for it to work, you must follow the instructions and send your money. The Internet is huge, let's all take advantage of it and help each OTHER out! GOOD LUCK...and enjoy your new found wealth!
