[WHOOSH]

Thanks again, Ron. I did take a look at the CEVNI info a non-member can view on the RYA site, along with some other ICC and canal-related info there. Each topic offered its own clear view on things but, when rolled together, the content is schizophrenic as anticipated: EU rules exist but national rules apply, and so it appears there''s just a 2nd, add''l layer of regs, if anyone needs them.

"As signaturees of the UN 40 it impacts us directly and is now becoming significant - unlike you guys who never sign anything!"
Boy, isn''t that the truth. We seem destined for another 4 years with our Cowboy in the saddle, ladling on more debt and clueless about the world around us. I thought those times were over when Ron and Nancy changed the location of their garden parties...

Are you shopping for a cooking stove or heating stove? If the latter, Force 10 in Canada just picked up another brand that is good value.
