[PUP] New List Administrator for Passagemaking Under Power

[Georgs Kolesnikovs]

All hands--

I'm pleased to announce that John Ford assumes the duties of List 
Administrator effective today. John succeeds Scott Bulger, our 
original listmaster, who is heading into the wild blue yonder with 
his Nordhavn 40 soon. More on Scott later.

John has been a participant in discussions here since the 
Passagemaking Under Power went live in December, 2004. He joined the 
main list--Trawlers & Trawlering List--seven years ago and 
volunteered to serve on the List Admin Team in 2004.

John and his father own Feisty Lady, a Krogen 44, that is home-ported 
in Annapolis City Marina in Annapolis, Maryland. About his boating, 
John says:

"I am relatively new to the trawler scene, going on about four years 
now, but have been a fan for about seven years. Currently, I have my 
6-pack license, and am working toward my Masters--for what reason I 
don't know, but I just like to learn. We have had two trawlers now, 
first, an American Tug 34 and, now, the Krogen 44 which, if my father 
can get a bit healthier, we plan to take to Bermuda, then maybe 
farther. I'm looking to gain as much knowledge as I can about 
passagemaking because it is a lifelong goal of mine to cross the 
ocean and maybe circumnavigate."

John is the lead System Admin in charge or there Unix, Storage, and 
Disaster Recovery Systems at a financial institution.

At Passagemaking Under Power, John will work to ensure the List runs 
efficiently and that order is maintained. When a List runs smoothly, 
it's an entertaining fountain of information and inspiration for 
everyone.

You have the con, John!
