boating topics (not to mention the flaming)  and I could not find a NG
devoted to chipmunks...........so here goes.

I have a Garmin ETrex Legend that I want to hook up to my new Cobra
fixed mount VHF. I have a cable to hook up the GPS to the computer,
but it won't plug into the VHF. Is this something Garmin will have to
supply (if there is such a thing)?

NOAA Proposes Rule to Require Saltwater Angler Registration

We have one or two regular members here who are a bit shy on posting a

de-390d.  Boat is 12 years old.  Refriger has worked just fine til

it off, empty it out and prop open the door.

Hey, my daughter just called (I'm away from the house for awhile) and
said a Rowdy Mouse T-shirt came! She really, really likes it!! She's
very thankful to have it, so thanks, dude!

I am about to embark in another boat building project. I have decided
to do it here as opposed to wrecked.boats.builders for a couple of
reasons.

......what is the fuel burn rate on your boat?
I have a Glastron GS209 powered by a single 4.3L 190 HP engine.  I

units I am looking at give up at around half a meter - unlike my 20
years old unit that I wanted to replace (I need zero depth performance
