What's a sea "trail"?


Common mistype, and it blows right past spell checkers. Their website
was put together by the same guys who build the boat.

You can't have it both ways. Folks who want to say, "I'm so sick of
slick ad and marketing campaigns for boats" shouldn't then be overly
critical of grammar, punctuation,
and general style when the guys who actually built the boat sit down to
write up a description of it. You want your aluminum boat built by an
expert welder, or an English major? :-)

(not to say one can't be both a careful writer and a welder, of course)
