I have multiple diesels, and I'm not afraid to use them. However, I will happily eschew air travel AND my Detroits if y'all want to pitch in so I can buy a Nordhavn trawler. The 55 foot will do for trans Atlantic, but I'd prefer a 62. Think of the savings - no more air travel, and trading 2 large, old, smoky, leaky, noisy diesels for a much smaller, more efficient single engine (Ok there's a little 40 horse "get home" emergency engine that normally runs the generators, but running both of them is far cleaner than running one 2 stroke Detroit). You'll reduce my footprint by at least 70% and save untold polar bears, penguins, and ground apes, PLUS I'll put your name in the Book of Hero EcoWarriors.

If you care at ALL about the environment you'll contribute, heavily. Otherwise I'm firing those puppies up and rolling COAL, dudes. Get your gas masks and life rafts ready, I'm burning some dinosaur piss!
