In his own words:

Have you ever sailed from San Francisco to Hawaii? I have.
Have you ever rounded Cape Horn? I have, twice.
Have you ever transited the Panama Canal? I have.
Have you owned more than 20 boats in your lifetime? I have.
Have you ever sailed large boats competitively? I have.
Have you ever been hundreds of miles from land in a powerboat
under your command? I have.

My father and his chief mechanic once crossed the Atlantic in
winter in a 22' boat powered by twin outboards. Yes, it is possible,
even the
fuel. Got a "fireboat" welcome in NYC.

As far as your other complaints, well, almost every president in
my memory and I *remember* Truman, Eisenhower (who cheated on his
wife),
Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush, lied and
participated in deceit to one degree or another, and on issues far
more
important than who was giving them blow jobs. Good lord. I met
*every* president in the damned group except
Bush, and I worked once for his father.

We had the Hatteras for two years. Last year, out of the cold
clear, a broker approached me with an offer to buy. Our continued
Florida lifestyle was somewhat up in the air, because the two
breadwinners hereabouts were about to be offered long-term but
temporary
assignments they could not refuse in the Washington, D.C., area. So,
after being romanced a little, we sold the Hatt for almost precisely
what we paid for it. Not bad, after two full years of use. And I mean
full years. So, we didn't "make" any money off the Hatt, but we didn't
lose any, either. The proceeds were prudently invested.

"Harold Krause" sounds like an American hero or a huge, lying, narcissist.

And there is a 'female' around here who seems to be following in those
same footsteps.

Narcissism isn't funny.
