Well, that didn't do any good.
Taking this from the basics, the idea is to keep afloat, with the boat
in a reasonably normal attitude, and possessing a strong desire to
remain that way. The first part has already been achieved, courtesy of
IM. The second part is NOT going to be achieved by my idea. Gotta think
some more..........
On another subject....I have been following with interest the discussion
about electric motors. There seems to be quite a lot to know about
electricity. I know a little about electricity myself. For instance I am
fully aware of the necessity of screwing a light bulb back in as soon as
possible, to prevent the electricity from leaking out. (Electricity
doesn't leak out of wall sockets, contrary to the prevailing and
widespread misconception, because all wall sockets are provided with
check valves). I have to admit though that electric motors are way above
my head. :-)
