Welcome to the Swearing in Ceremony of both Duane and Douglas who've attained the rank of Master Marine Consultant through their prodigious postings, idle banter, and other worthless contributions to this forum.

Doug and Duane,...<font size=5>UHHHH-TEN-SHUN!</font id=size5> Raise your beverage hand and lend an ear.

(PS- Due to budget constraints, the paygrade for Master Marine Consultant is E-Zero, but you do get them little green stars by your names!)

Once again thanks to this board and the people who run it. Just don't tell my boss how much time I spend here when I should be working.

Doug: I started over to keep the Admiral from finding out... And because I carry the dubious title "consultant" as a wage-slave, it's not what I want to be called here... ALso because I don't know enough to be a Master Marine Consultant--I'm learning it from you guys! (I taught myself to sail 50+ years ago and don't pretend to know how it's really supposed to be done--thus, no racing except as crew.)

In all honesty I can tell you that both of these guys give great advice and never judge us novice types. In my book that goes a long way. (If I keep writing I might even move up to experienced newbie!)
Keep up the good work and thanks.

We have all profited from these guys meandering prophecies on how to get to nirvana. Where would we be without the stimulating and thoughtful advice…Davy Jones knows! This is a great community that prevents mistakes, helps us correct our mistakes, and allows us to squander our thoughts without penalty. We learn from our own suggestions and advice. We certainly learn from yours. From Deep in the Heart of Texas,
