Communicating with a Cruiser

Hello,

I tried to answer a message from a David Rock of S/V Faith which is an IP 40 #38.

He was in Marathon, FL as of April 25.

He sent me an e-mail via satellite phone using GMN's XGate software which at the end stated "Please be kind and keep your replies short."

I tried to respond with finally a text message but my efforts have been returned stating that the mail was undeliverable.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The message I tried to send him was as follows below and if you know how to contact him you may forward it to him:

David,

Have been having difficulty replying to your e-mail. Here is another attempt.

I was able to make the ones we have work after playing with them awhile so Ihaven't tried to buy any to replace what we have.

I was able to locate the following as a possible source, but have not yet pursued it. I did actually talk to John listed below and it sounded like they get them from the same source as Island Packet gets theirs.

Island Packet Windows (Port Lights) & Screens ($17) (14 1/2 14 5/8)(Manship manufactured)Outlaw$ Port Window Screens (727)804-8005 OR (727)544-2626 (Fax)please call (727)-804-8005. THANKS JOHN

If you try them, let me know how it goes.

Would help if you shared the address that you sent the email to - might help trouble shoot the problem.

On the three attempts that I tried to respond, the last of which was a short text messsage to, as opposed to selecting the Reply option with Outlook Express, I received the following response:

My take on this is that David Rock would have to be on his satellite phone at the same time as I am trying to send him a message. I have no idea who his server is that he is downloading e-mails from. When I go to GMN's website Home Page www.globalmarinenet.net/index.php it is not obvious to me how/where I might send an e-mail to one of their subscribers which I suspect David Rock is in order for them to forward it to him the next time he downloads his e-mails from them.

It's a mystery to me.

Anyway, would appreciate any help/suggestions/solutions you may be to generate.

Thanks,

Larry Rossi

Hayden/Larry:

On Winlink - if you send an email to someone, that someone is automatically added to your "Whitelist" the allow mail from list.

Not sure how the satphone system ad software works.

Larry: Let me know if you want to send me an email directly.

Bobby
