STEVE: HOW MANY ROLLS OF THERMAL FAX PAPER SHOULD I HAVE ON BOARD FOR A 6 MONTH CRUISE……HAVING THE FURUNO 207 FITTED THIS WEEK.–PHIL <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Hi Phil: First, you can use good quality thermal fax paper (availale at any office supply store) for about a tenth the price of the “official” Furuno paper. You will have to tear off the first 15\/20% of the roll, however, as otherwise it will not fit in properly (we just toss what we tear off).<\/p>\n

As to quantity–this depends on where you are sailing and how often the weather fax will be used. I think we have about a dozen rolls right now aboard Beowulf. My guess is we will use half of this between the Carribean and Azores–and then a good chunk of the balance over the summer. <\/p>\n

If you are going to Mexico you will not need as much as if you’re headed to the Pacific Northwest and\/or Canada or Alaska. However, fax paper is usually available just about anywhere you travel–just the cost will be higher than at a discount store in the US.–Steve <\/p>\n
