Peter,

Don't beat yourself up too much! It is almost impossible to live day to day with out having something like this happen,let alone your whole life.

I try never to buy products made in China because of its human rights record. This pretty much means that I can't buy anything from Wal-Mart. It also means that I have to pay higher prices. A couple of weeks ago I paid a premium price for a product, got it home and then saw the "Made in China" label. Not only did I buy something from a place I find morally reprehensable, but I paid extra for the privilege! Live and learn.

We all try to practice "leave no trace" camping ethics, wouldn't it be great to live a leave no trace life.

You did not knowingly do this and so did nothing wrong. Enjoy your boat.

Ian
