All hands-- As List Administrator Scott Bulger has pointed out, everyone interested in offshore and trans-oceanic trawlering is welcome to subscribe to Passagemaking Under Power List. The only thought I'd add to Scott's post--<http://lists.samurai.com/pipermail/passagemaking-under-power/2004-December/000131.html>--is remind you that Passagemaking List, as explained on the list info page, was created to serve as a special forum for those already voyaging the world and those actively planning to engage in long-range cruising. Let me repeat: to serve as a special forum for those already voyaging the world and those actively planning to engage in long-range cruising. Everyone interested in the subject matter is welcome, but those not passagemaking, and those not planning to voyage, should be aware of the primary purpose of the list, and not attempt to dominate discussions. --Georgs
