John and All,

At this symposium, there were four 5 Star Sea candidates (I was a part of the group they led), and none passed. Afterwards, Nigel Dennis was saying that the new 4 Star Sea, which now has a leadership component, is all that 99% of Americans need, because the only two places in the USA that have the type of tidal currents where the 5 Star assessment can even happen is San Francisco and Long Island.
