Land of the Empire Builders,
Land of the Golden West;
Conquered and held by free men,
Fairest and the best.
Onward and upward ever,
Forward and on, and on;
Hail to thee,
Land of Heroes,
My Oregon.
Land of the rose and sunshine,
Land of the summer's breeze;
Laden with health and vigor,
Fresh from the Western seas.
Blest by the blood of martyrs,
Land of the setting sun;
Hail to thee,
Land of Promise,
My Oregon.

We are putting together a biodiesel boat and are planning to sail the Great Loop with it.  We need some help and we hope that the forum can help us.

Are there any good kits out there for Marine Diesel engines?  Most likely we will either have a Yanmar or a Volvo diesel with the possibility of a Ford Lehman. 

We are also looking for advertisers or partners.  We know that feed stock is very expensive right now so most producers are on a tight budget.  Any seggestions.  

We will be presenting mini seminars on the docks and at yacht clubs, along with getting into schools to do simple experiments and trying to increase awareness to young people.  We will be using local media to maximise our exposure and to attract attention to our boat.

Any help will be very appreciated.  I will keep you updated to our progress.
