    Have not seen a decent wireless unit.

    Temperature Monitoring

    Would you be kind enough to give me some more details on how this might work? I went to the Rasberry PI website. Not very helpful.

    Temperature Monitoring

    Are you saying that each temp module will support temp from 6 sources? I'm guessing this would require a Maretron MFD. Correct?

    Temperature Monitoring

    Nice simple unit. Problem for me is my helm station and flybridge are pretty far away from what I want to monitor. It would be great to do this with a wireless system.

    Temperature Monitoring

    Sorry. You guys misread my post. I'm happy to spend much more than $50. The Electrical Engineer who wrote the article in Sea spent less than $50 on his system. Nice but not what I'm looking to build. I would like to temp sense several sites on 3 engines and wirelessly send to iPad.

    Temperature Monitoring

    Posted this in general discussion but got no responses. Want to develop a system to monitor temp at several sites and transfer data wireless to iPad or desktop or laptop computer for continuous monitoring. Looking to monitor exhaust manifolds, alternators, engine oil, batteries, shaft seal...

    Black Iron

    If you go to the local welding shop and look at the "mild steel" lying around you will often see the black shine on the surface from the iron oxide that forms durning production. That's the stuff commonly referred to as "black iron". A very generic term for a number of alloys. They are all steel.

    Vibrio Vulnificus death by sea water.

    Vibrio infections are very unusual but may be highly aggressive. As sbu22 pointed out, immono-compromised people are at greatest risk but that is always the case for any type of infection. Vibrio are not difficult to treat. Recognizing source is key for suspicion and antibiotic selection. I have...

    Heading around the outside along the West Coast

    If you have never crosses the bars along the west coast you should plan your exit, AND distance to next bar crossing for high slack. Do not consider for a second trying to cross the Columbia or Greys Harbor Bars on any part of an Ebb. Flood only and preferably high near end of flood. At slack...

    Contacting War Ships via VHF for Communication

    Yes, I am aware of that. However, we're talking about inadvertently finding ourselves in the path of a warship from miles to several miles away. Not 500 yards. I'm guessing they will always contact you and give direction long before the 500 yards restriction comes into play. In my case they...

    Contacting War Ships via VHF for Communication

    I don't think you have any specific responsibility towards the warship. You are responsible to monitor channel 16. They know that. When and if you are violating their space you will know it soon enough. They will hail you by name on channel 16 and give you instructions on what they expect you to...

    Nuke Sub Hits Support Vessels

    A grey fish just like that came up alongside me in the strait last year. Coast Guard hailed me and told me to stay away. Very far away. I made a turn to port. The guys with machine guns in a Rib chased me. I stayed away! No pics by the way!

    Zika Virus

    Seems to be around 275 active infections in pregnant women in the US now. Number will surely increase dramatically soon with the summer Mosquito season upon us in the south. If you have pregnant daughters, may want to seriously rethink their upcoming trip to Alabama.

    Zika Virus

    And this. Sorry, should have added to the above. Two articles. Euro Surveill., 2014 vol. 19(9) Zika virus infection complicated by Guillain-Barre syndrome--case report, French Polynesia, December 2013 Oehler, E; Watrin, L; Larre, P; Leparc-Goffart, I; Lastere, S; Valour, F; Baudouin, L...

    Zika Virus

    Here is the sum total of the worlds literature on the subject of Zika Virus and GBS through Pub Med, which publishes the entire world literature in medicine. J. Gen. Virol., 2015 Zika virus: a previously slow pandemic spreads rapidly through the Americas Gatherer, D; Kohl, A Zika virus...

    Zika Virus

    Here is the most up to date public information on Zika and GBS from the CDC. Does Zika virus infection cause Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)? Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare disorder where a person’s own immune system damages the nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and sometimes...

    Zika Virus

    Of course the standards for safety in the US are far different than in many countries. That puts severe constraints on the testing of new therapies that results in years of study. The World Hearlth Organization can pull the trigger on this sort of thing around the world rapidly if they so...

    Zika Virus

    Unfortunately there is limited knowledge about Zika and its effects on humans. It has not been on the heavy hitters list until now. Many of the comments here contribute to the kind of hysteria that often accompanies an unknown illness. It comes from fear. I get that. Best way to combat that is...

    Zika Virus

    I think your 10% idea is probably very generous. We know a huge amount. What we don't know is far greater. No doubt about that. What we are learning is expanding exponentially every year. I'm guessing that everything the Brazil Department of Infectious Disease knows, if they even have sush a...

    Zika Virus

    Sorry Sunchaser. Didn't mean to discount your personal sources. I'm just a physician who regularly deals with infectious disease, who also has a graduate degree in microbial genetics and used viruses regularly in my graduate research and have my finger in 5 seconds on the entire world literature...
