Jan, In cruising BC waters in my own boats for nearly half a century, I realized I would never trade places with the megayacht crowd. They will never know the pleasures of anchoring in the little coves such as Port Neville, where I saw grizzlies, orca, and could hear the wolves howl in the mountains. Since they cruise with a crew, they will not know the satisfaction of navigating, finding your own anchorage, and setting the anchor for the night. I'd prefer to do it your way.

Thank you Gdog.
And since we are on the subject of regrowing parts of bodies, the sea stars are the masters...

I wish regeneration worked for people. My right hand has stayed the same for nearly 50 years.
