Harry went to such great lengths to prove "ownership" of his Parker. He
took pictures of the boat, he sent Gould the Bill of Sale so Gould could
verify he owned the boat, he has made $1000 bets to prove his ownership, and
the list goes on and on.

Yet, when he was looking for someone to be his "buddy", he kept the Lobster
Boat hidden from you, and only offered you a ride on his Parker. You would
have thought he would have jumped on the chance to have his new friend tell
everyone he not only saw the Parker but the 36' Lobster Boat.

Don,
At the time this happened, John mentioned that Harry did invite him for a
ride on YoHo. In rec.boats, he thanked Harry, but said he was not able to
go for a ride in the Parker, due to other plans. He did not throw it back
in Harry's face. It was a year after the invite, that Harry suddenly
decided it was for a ride on his infamous Lobster Boat.

Harry publishes numerous pictures of his Parker. Yet no pictures of his
Lobster Boat, and no one except a person who uses Harry's computer has
ever
seen the boat. Harry turns down easy bets to show proof of ownership of
the
Lobster Boat. If you want to believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus
it
is not big deal, but when Harry offered John a ride in his Parker, John
did
not throw it in his face.

Your boat is up for the season now, right, Herring?


Up for the season??
The big wind season is just starting here. Anyone who calls himself a
sailor has been waiting for this.
The 'skipper' that I crewed with in years past called. He's all excited
about getting back into a 36 footer. yesterday he picked me up in his
new
Mercedes 4 seater convertible to go look at a boat in a club across the
harbour. I tried to convince him to look at something a bit smaller
with
a big cockpit because of his need to invite too many people along to
wine
& dine on our sails. He's spending too much time stateside selling
clothing. It's always...'gotta go bigger' mentality where the true
Maritimer would scheme to get the most use/enjoyment out of the least
expense.


Harry says he's got a 36'er. Have you ever been out in it?

If I was invited, and I could make it, I sure as heck would go.
I couldn't imagine receiving an invite and throwing it back into the
inviter's face. That's not the way we operate here in the 'Maritimes'.


Good memory. Harry has twisted the account to make it seem as though I
threw it
back in his face right off the bat. After seeing his tripe here, I have
since
said that I don't think I could stand to be within 25' of him for a whole
day.
At that time, I didn't know his 25' Parker was actually about 35' long.
That
extra 10 feet could make a big difference, since I'm getting pretty close
to
deaf anyway!
