Some years ago, Skipper tried his damnedest to "entice" me to trailer a
boat about 2500 miles from the east coast of Florida (or maybe it was
after I moved to the Chesapeake Bay area) to the Gulf of California,
where he would meet me with his imaginary Bayliner to see which boat was
the better cruiser. Or some such nonsense. Why I would want to waste
days of my life towing a boat those distances to meet up with asshole
with a Bayliner was something I couldn't parse.

Actually, Krause had made specific allegations regarding galvanized
Escort trailers, the Cortez, his open water skills, Bayliners, the San
Carlos area, and Skippers boat. The ONLY way to test his claims was in
this specific Challenge. Harry failed this shake 'n bake verification
and has carried that chip ever since.
