I would be curious to know where on Long Island the conditions are 5
star.  I don't think the race at Plum Gut is even 5 star.  Or maybe I
just don't understand what 5 star means.

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.
