...
Note: 25-feet feet


A lovely young lady cleans up my goofs and gaffes. I always try to include

at
least a few to keep her steadily employed. :-)

Also, and I'm not expert so if I'm wrong - so be it, but is it right to
put "Bingo" in quotes every single time it's mentioned.


Actually, yes it is. The name of a vessel should always be enclosed in

quotes,
or italicized. I type extremely fast, and almost completely intuitively,

and I
can do quotes with exceptional ease while I need to stop and think through

the
process to italicize. The same lovely young lady usually substitutes
italicized type for my quotes around the name of a vessel, but both are
considered correct.


Ahh, yes. If the name were italicized each time that would "feel" right. All
those
quotes seems somehow distracting - even if they are officially correct.
You've got
a proof reader - so I'll just sit back and enjoy the content from now on.
