Default Second attempt to post this flare item....(long, of course)

Chuck, did you write that, or is it a repost from a publication. If
the latter, which one? Good article!


That's something I wrote. Thanks for the complimentary remark- glad
you enjoyed it. I'm always looking for an opportunity to get something
related to boating introduced to the NG.

That article will appear in one of our regional magazines for the Boat
Show issue September 12, but it will run without a byline. Out of 20+
articles and features in a typical issue I normally write 4-6 myself,
but I don't claim more than two as it would be annoying to see my name
appear that often in an issue. (Heck, it's annoying enough to see the
work itself- even without my name on it). When published it will
include 12 charts, which I obviously can't reproduce in this format.
The charts improve the mental flow by introducing some visual rest
stops.
Without the charts, (that compare things like candlpower/minues per
dollar), the text alone is long enough to become tedious.
