Just discovered this newsgroup. Most posts seem sail oriented, was
wondering if this newsgroup had any powerboats as well?

There ARE some of us here who do cruise in power boats. I used to
charter sailing craft almost exclusively. Now, with a couple of
kids, I often end up in a trawler yacht for a week. It provides
more room and the more predictable passages. In any case, most
of the sailboats I see in the San Juans and Gulf Islands spend at
least part of the day under power. Fluky winds and strong tidal
currents make a reliable auxilliary quite handy---particularly
if you are only an intermittent visitor on someone else's boat.
