Thanks, Jackson. In fact, that's on-topic in several ways. Even more so since one of the authors is a NavList member of long-standing. For reference, here's an index to Joel Silverberg's NavList posts over the past nine years: http://www.fer3.com/arc/sort2.aspx?author=silverberg&y=2007&y2=2016. And many of us have met him at NavList gatherings at Mystic Seaport. :)
