There was already a thread about what people want for Christmas. So now we need to find out what they actually got.
Personally, I am still waiting to open the large package, with my name on it, under the tree. I'm sure it has something to do with sailing. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'll let you know.

An extremely excited three-year-old, two madly spinging nephews, good cheer and a warm house full of family.
On top of that, I got a gift certificate to Layline and some VS sleepwear (not for me to wear <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />).

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
That's what it is all about. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
P.S. my big package had nothing to do with sailing, except indirectly. It's like, when you get an electric razor, it helps to reduce windage; right?

I got nothing to do with sailing..... I got a weekend pass for the 2007 British Grand Prix! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Friends, family, opera tickets and a huge snowstorm. We got 30 inches of wet snow - more than I've ever seen in one storm in Boulder. It was so heavy that it snapped my boat trailer in two places. luckily there's no boat damage. I guess I'm getting myself a new trailer for post-Christmas.

He brought me a nice warm breeze so I went sailing! It was only for an hour but I had to do it, since my kids asked me yesterday what I wanted for Christmas, and I told them, "Some wind!" Shortly after I hit the beach the thunderstorms came. I hear they had a tornado wipe out 5 homes up north of Tampa. Any one hear the details?
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

The only really sailing related present was a new Henri Lloyd life vest. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
But going to buy a new wetsuit when sales REALLY start. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Robi, from the looks of your new face, you SHOULD have gotten a razor for Christmas. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I got a used IRIDIUM Phone for Christmas because of all the "out of area" stuff I do. My wife wants us to make it possible to always be in touch with someone for emergency purposes so she mentioned it at work and one of her co-workers gave her this phone. My job is to learn about it and find out the cheapest way to maintain it.
Apparently there are two options: Maintain a plan or Buy Prepaid minutes. The phone came with a SIM card but it has no service attached to it.
So where do I go from here? If I just want to be able to get in touch with either the authorities (for rescue/emergency purposes) or let someone at home get in touch with me (if they are having an emergency) when I am out of the normal cell phone area what would be the easiest and cheapest way to go? Anyone?
Thanks Greg
