Hey Steve,

...This is perhaps the ONLY sailing forum where this subject hasn't generated tons of discussion... Hell, there's a thread on YBW that's close to 100 pages long!

Kudos to West Marine on this one, they've stepped up to the plate bigtime, IMHO...

I'd still love to have a pre-Chinese Rocna... Larry DH, let me know if you ever want to sell yours, OK? (grin)

It will be interesting to see where Rocna goes from here, I'm not sure how they recover from this debacle without pulling their production from China, entirely...

Hope you're enjoying your cruise, Steve - looks like you've caught the weather right, this summer...

best regards,

Jon
