Good advice. I guess what I was saying is that I DO WANT to learn
waterstarts, just that I figure it might take me a season or two to
get there. That said, I am a quick study, in decent shape, and have
had some 'practice' over the years, so you never know. Any case, I
appreciate your advice and I hear where you are coming from. Maybe
I'll make my planned learning curve a bit steeper! Thanks, Rob
