Dear Readers, This newsletter is to announce that I am going to start slacking off a bit in the future. I’ve done 35 of these missives since last winter, one each week with pretty fair regularity. But I find that, as the subject get more involved, each one gets a little harder and takes longer. I’m to the point where I am spending more time than the rest of my life allows to do the necessary research and writing for a weekly addition.
Congratulations, Doug, for all your research and writing. I admire how well you have set forth complex issues. In addition to addressing the wide range of topics, I hope you'll devote some energy to trying to wake up the recreational boating industry -- buyers, manufacturers, marketers, etc. -- to the climate crisis now at hand. In the face of the climate emergency, as you well know and have written about, the trend toward faster and faster, bigger and bigger boats using more and more fossil fuels is absurd and almost criminal. You have the expertise to be highly credible in an effort to get the industry to become more responsible.
Thank you Doug-it starts with educating all.
