Since the subject of cell phones came up, I thought this was a pretty cool link: http://seaboard.ndbc.noaa.gov/dial.shtml Dial-A-Buoy In a message dated 1/22/1999 11:11:12 PM EST, Gregh_at_abs.net writes: << My problem with the cell phone is that it is not submersible and I can't imagine how I'd use it successfully in the worst case condition where I'd get separated from my boat in challenging conditions. It's nowhere close to waterproof and it has tiny little buttons that I don't have a chance of using with neoprene gloves on. I'd probably die of dialing frustration before succumbing to hypothermia. >> *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sat Jan 23 1999 - 13:37:09 PST
