What if I paid for the ticket and when you arrive it turns out that you aren’t that lithe young person that I need on this job
I’m going to join up as soon as I’m home and on a secure network to send the money…I hope they take PayPal
I’m beginning to get flashbacks to the reason my last project took so longI’ll manage- don’t you worry, and if not I’ll find a lithe young filly that’ll help - I have previous form for that
My next step is to follow Jerbro’s advice and go on the Swift Trawler forum…..can’t believe I haven’t done this sooner…oh that’s right…Jerbro said that they want money
STOG Membership Application Form
Because there’s enough information to hurt you if their site gets hacked. I might be happily working on my toilet hose without realizing that my boat has been put up for sale on eBay.
I'm pretty fussy about what personal info i put into web sites. Just put fake info in anything you're not comfy with.
The problem is that they want an official boat number....that they can check...and with it cross check your personal information. If I have to go to them I probably will, they have been well recommended and carry a lot of vital information on this project
No suggestion on the site of cross checking personal information. They ask for little personal information and i don't see how they can check your name, email address and telephone number against a boat name or MMSI.
It’s not something I took lightly as I really wanted to join
I have to say I'm also very careful about putting personal information on the Internet. I joined FB to get access to a group relating to my boat, but I set up a new email address, and do not use my own name.
Yes, and thank you for not pointing out my typing error
....the problem is that they want the boat details....probably to keep an archive like any collectors group....but I can’t lie on one part of the form without lying about the boat
....and begin work

A wise move. Even though I was only the gofor assisting my son I f'd up one of my arthritic hips crawling, bending, climbing over a month ago and then f'd up my back trying to put my socks on. I've been going to the hospital every morning this week for pain killing, anti inflammatory injections*. I'm also getting steroid jabs every 3rd morning which I hope will give me more long term relief.this is going to involve a lot of awkward positions....so a little each day is best for my back and associated joints
I’m sorry to hear that....for some reason, I always imagined you were one of our more robust members
If it wasn't for my hips, knees, shoulders and back, I probably would beI’m sorry to hear that....for some reason, I always imagined you were one of our more robust members
I get it. To be honest, I hesitated too before signing up for the very same reasons. But then I considered they weren’t asking for anything that wasn’t in the public domain (apart from email address and phone number), and I get plenty of spam via both of those channels anyway… I looked at it as a “club” rather than a public forum, so I went for it.. as you say, each of us have our own trust thresholds, so it’s a personal choice.
I appreciate your advice Jerbro....and if I can’t figure this out by myself, I will revisit the situation
