That seems simple enough. I could always bring a quart of distilled water with 
me when I go to check the boat if the battery water level appears to be 
dropping.

If they're wet cells check the water level once or twice and they'll be great.

  I agree with Skip on this one. While I don’t have to worry about web 
connection issues, etc. while sitting at home in front of a roaring fireplace I 
can look through the emails in ‘preview’ and make the decision to engage or not.

  It seems to me that there’s always as slowdown this time of the year with a 
lot of the normal ‘listers’ because a whole bunch of us (at least here in the 
Northeast, Northwest, and upper Midwest) have put our respective boats to bed 
for the winter – unfortunately!  

  I also know a bunch of the old regulars ( Charmaine, ‘bella, etc...) have 
migrated to web based or even Facebook, but there are still a LOT of us 
checking the inbox for list messages. 

  Meanwhile, I’ll be heading out to check on the boat cover, lines, and fenders 
while Captiva sleeps in her bubbler-equipped slip. But here’s a topic which has 
been explored before but possibly germane to those of us wet-storing over the 
winter.

  Will 6-v wet cell batteries be damaged by leaving the on-board charger 
activated over 4 months (Dec/Jan/Feb/Mar) so it maintains a float charge?  In 
my case, I’ve got an inverter/charger. I think that while the unit is on and 
the status panel is on there’s some minimum draw even as the batteries are 
being charged.

  I'm part of cruisers_online_network, a truly international list (many receive 
their mail/listserve over Pactor)... 

  I'm away from my home computer, but I'll follow up in a week or so with info 
on that one.

  That said, I wouldn't disengage from this.  Also, I DETEST web interfaces of 
all stripes, much preferring listserve, or at a distance, NNTP newsgroups, 
where stuff comes to my mailbox without the need to log on, go to a web site, 
or any other much more bandwidth intensive activity.  It also allows me a 
preview of what I'm either going to open or disregard, vs having to wade 
through lots of title-only stuff in forums...

  My 2 cents; this is a great list, taking a breather :{))

    This list appear to be pretty much dead. I kinda wonder why. It used to
    be pretty lively.

    Question: where has everyone gone?

    Thanks!
