Is one of them named Krause?

If so, I'm sure they will get a fireboat welcome when they get there.

What's the over/under on how far they get before they have to get
pulled out of the drink?

If it is much past Don's house I want the under.


Whose's house??
You are just entering real 'big water' when you get up here. All kinds of
characters set off from here & Newfoundland...few make it all the way
across.

The two clowns attempting the trip are nominees for darwin awards. The
boat itself, though, is sort of interesting as a bay boat, but it looks
like it might pound like crazy in a chop.

Was your father a nominee for the darwin awards, too? Oh, wait, that
was a lie. Carry on.

He is just a boat salesman I guess. Running across the grass flats
like that means he doesn't care that much about the fish.

I still think a USCG rescue swimmer is in these guys' future



Can they "prepay" for that service? It's going to take far less than a
"perfect storm" to flip that boat out in the Atlantic.
