Since JimH is ready to move up from his Moped, here's a little car

might be the next logical step. Starting to see quite a number of them

Leaving JimH out of it, here's the nautical equivalent of your "smart
car". When and if oil hits $100/bbl, alternatives like this will
become more popular. Kiss water skiing goodbye.
We have a local dealer for these, and I've been out for a ride on Lake
Union in a Duffy. Absolutely quiet, about like sailing.

And what is Don doing to conserve energy? See lots if Duffy's in Naples
area of Long Beach, California. Lots of the homes on the canals have
one.

Uh, Bill, Don's sailboat is quite energy efficient.



We were talking of the Moped. Learn to follow the thread. Chuck posted the
Duffy part.


Ok since you asked Bill...In April of 2003 I purchased a Miele 'Comfort'
bike for transportation to & from work downtown. It was quite enjoyable
pedaling to work but the homeward journey was a bit uphill the whole way.
