Hello Jim, we were saying ! 

 JH> Modern USA boats have a medallion on the transom which gives
 JH> max HP motor recommended. Do they do that in CDN also?

        Yep ! Copy cats, hey ? I am now in Kamouraska, saw my small boat
  but it is still upside down on its trailer. It is at my son's place and
  we rent a bigger house not to far away. Tomorrow, I will get it here.

 JH> Down here, it is good to have at least enough motor to get the boat up
 JH> on plane, as thunderstorms with lightning and high winds can blow in
 JH> pretty quickly.

        Right you are. I keep a very good eye on the weather and I even
  print out the synopsis maps from day to day. This way, with my aviation
  experience, I think that I can safely venture on the big river here. So
  far so good. We will go and have a look at the seals this week. One mile
  out there are islands and rocks and they sun themselves on them.

     
 The BIOS on this Thinkpad got updated today.
  Still runs !
