While anchored near Marina Tahina in Tahiti, the catamaran was struck by lightening. We will be here for a long while now because almost all our
electronics were destroyed, even the control unit for the refrigerator. The SSB Radio and the laptop got fried, but the Pactor Modem seems to be one of
the only things still working fine. Bernard, Pti Tom (translated from French)
Kioko and I sure enjoyed Christmas with you. Now you’ve seen Also Island, our little rock. The pineapples are still in season, come back and we’ll give
you more! I tell you, it sure is great having the PACTOR, and being able to send an email to Mombassa to ask them to send a part or some supplies on
the Mary Kay when she comes back for more fish. The “Rag of the Air” [Marine Radio Info Net] is still going on. I get up before 5 every morning and
get about 10 weather bulletins and GRIB files. Glad that you insisted I should also upgrade to PACTOR III, otherwise, all those bulletins would take
forever [to receive] even with good propagation… Jim Bandy, AlsoII, Also Island, Fiji
We want to thank you again for your help getting our PACTOR modem installed properly with our radio and laptop. When we bought the unit in New
Zealand, we got the modem and cables, but no one told us how to set it up. Foolishly, we had left it till late to even look at what we got, until just before
departing. Afraid to connect it wrong, we ended up making the long sail from New Zealand with the modem in the box and no way to get weather
bulletins and email. (which is why we bought it in NZ in the first place!) When we got to Vanuatu, we were glad to meet you. You got us the right fitting
for our cable, made sure the wiring was all correct and the system was working. You even helped us apply for Sailmail, get the latest version, and
tutored us on its use and etiquette. Wish we had bought the PACTOR from you, especially when we found out your price was better, and you included
all the help in getting it running. At least we did get you to upgrade our unit to PACTOR III. It cost us the same price as doing it over the Internet, and
was done the next day, without worrying about making a mistake doing it ourselves.

Luc, We are returned from sailing around New Caledonia, and discovered the replacement LED you sent for our anchor light. Got your email also. So,
the light was good after all; it was only the contacts were a little different from my old masthead light. I never thought to check that. Thanks to send me
a brand new light anyway. J Marie is also interested in one for his anchor light. Yves et Monique, S/V Nefertiti (translated from French)
Thanks Luc for the pactor modem you sent me here in Savu Savu and for all the precise instructions to help setting up everything together. Curly,
Bosun’s Locker in Savu Savu
Luc, The last two warm white LEDs I bought for the cockpit table are even a nicer warm color than the ones I really liked that I put in the salon. Since
the bulb/reflector unit is so well finished, I just threaded the wire and plug-in through a short tube of PVC and attached that to the hardtop shade over
the cockpit! I’m pretty proud. It looks like a factory made halogen light, but doesn’t use 20 watts like a halogen. Merci, Roger et Lucie, Catamaran
“Catimini”
….Remember that time all us boats were sailing to the Ambrym Cultural Festival, and three of us rounded the Craig’s Cove point around the same time
and everyone’s GPS went crazy? Catimini and Sabbatical II’s lost the position, and our main GPS just suddenly said we were 80 miles out, that’s how I
knew something was weird. We had both the GPS and the Mouse on because we were still testing out the new Mouse as a back-up, not trusting it yet.
I don’t know if it was the volcano, the black magic, or the microwave tower on the point, but the Mouse wasn’t phased, it showed our boat right on the
chart where we belonged. Now we trust it…even more than our main GPS! Marvin and Shelley, S/V Destiny
Those little waterproof lights with the 3 tiny LEDs put out a lot of light! And they’re cheap! We left the 2 attached as a unit. They are so light and don’t
give off any heat, so we just sewed them right to the cloth of the Bimini top. Simple. We get plenty of light to eat dinner in our cockpit and we can leave
them on for hours, even with my ailing batteries. Holger, Gloria, and Aurora, S/V “Dharma Bum”
Merci Luc, I received the LEDs here in Malaysia without problem. Glad that you got in more of the same model I bought from you. I haven’t seen the
same kind, even here in SE Asia. Alain, voilier “Kawekara”
Luc,Your GPS Mouse is still working perfectly with my Maxsea [navigation program]. I still kick myself for buying that other more expensive one in New
Caledonia. Those darned French sales men assured me it would work with Maxsea, no problem! When you came over to troubleshoot, using your
GPS Mouse as a test to see if the problem was with the mouse or with my computer, I saw that your mouse let us choose the correct baud rate, and the
one from New Cal had only one baud rate, the Wrong one! Anna, S/V “Koncerto”
We put the Spotlights in the cabin, one for each of us. They make great reading lights. Mark told you that we were reading with those LED headlight
flashlights on our heads to save electricity! With the spotlights, and the ones we got to replace the halogens, I finally don’t have to feel like I’m living in a
cave with Mark screaming to turn off all the lights to save his precious batteries! Cathy and Mark, The Cabin
Can I get more of these small LED from you … I find all kinds of use for them! Bruno on MorayX in Santo.
Voici quelques photos qui montrent les modifications faites avec les led achetes. Nous sommes tres contents de la lumiere produite ainsi que de
l’economie d’energie! Claude et Mary s/v Chenapan, Aout 2010
