10sec on Google Are Hector's dolphins endangered? Endangered (Population decreasing) Hector's dolphin/Conservation status There has been a 74% overall Hector's dolphin decline and a 90% loss for Māui dolphin over just three generations. Hector's dolphins

All pure speculation. If the population is decreasing ( as it has been for quite a while) we can say with a lot of certainty that mortality exceeds fertility and they are at risk of extinction, certainly endangered.

It the mortality rate exceeds the fertility rate by 1000 p a then in 15 years they are all gone. Permanently.

You're sounding like a religious zealot. Using that circular argument no one can explain anything. However science has given us a far greater understanding of many things than anything that came before. Science works

I know a few physicists who would disagree.

You can't make meaningful statements about that unless you also know the mortality rate and fertility rate for the population of 15,000,

I veered off the dock in Noumea after a few celebratory drinks. Everyone thought it was deliberate so no harm done.

Not sure such a thing exists. Best I can come up with is one person came up with the idea and it was adopted.

I had a failure last week. Not a yanmar. Replacement $1250. Gut with a workshop repaired the old one $30.

BTW we wmt dinghysploring up the river over easter, didn't see anything to get excited about.

I think that if a boat has decent mooring cleats and serviced through hulls nobody has any right to complain. I also hate the idea of an insurance company telling me what I can and can't do. e.g. leaving the pacific after October. That's my decision.

Is this where we are headed? House Bill 4844 would be a brief addition to South Carolina law, requiring that owners who want to anchor in the state for more than two weeks pay for insurance to cover salvage costs if their boats sink:

So maybe it's a sailboat

Very few boats have left our river
