... "Wilbur Hubbard" wrote Try a tour bus while becalmed in port. Stop polluting the air and oceans of the world with diesel oil, diesel fumes, and diesel noise. By riding in a diesel powered bus? WTF is that proving? Dozens or more ride a bus while one or two burn about the same amount of diesel aboard a yacht. And, some busses these days are using propane which is much cleaner than diesel which is a primitive engine and a dirty fuel. The pollution level per capita is much much less for a tour bus than for a private yacht. Wilbur Hubbard |

But more to the point.... How would an arm-chair sailor know all this technical information? Read it in a magazine, or course. -- Cheers, Bruce |
