Back in 1958, this was the largest non-nuclear explosion in history.

Rocks were thrown 1,000 feet into the air. The vaporized water became
an instant cloud. Over 300 tons of underwater mountaintops were
removed to improve passage through Seymour Narrows.

Great to see you Chuck! come around more often. We need the boating
posts!

Yes indeed.

And as a side benefit of participating in the group you get Tim's
expertise with 12 volt electrical issues of all sorts, several of us
who are active boaters in south western Florida and elsewhere, and a
couple of others who chime in from time to time. We need to
reestablish a critical mass of boating related posts in order to drown
out the other BS.

How are those new engines working out that you installed a few years
ago?

For those who might be new to the group, Chuck is a veritable expert
on boating in the Pacific Northwest, and has given generously of his
time and talent in the past.
