That's what I'd call a 'very interesting' boating post! I also like the article about the Lehr small outboards. If I needed a small outboard, I'd sure be looking into one of those. I agree with Wayne's comments about the internet version of the magazine. Very easy to peruse. I wonder if that Lehr was designed and engineered by Karen's blokes, down under? Perhaps it was! Bernardo Jorge Herzer, the CEO of Lehr, was a licensed ship's captain, spent a lot of time at sea, and, in fact, made trips to Australia. It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't get his great ideas from Karen. snerk Now *that* is funny. What great ideas would Herzer get from Karen of Oz? How to weld a rusty diesel engine ontop of a handbuilt rusty lower unit and call it an outboard motor? Herzer's company has a propane fueled four cycle engine on its outboard. It also has similarly powered lawn tools. Now that's really funny. Krause making a comment on the design and manufacture of engines. A topic on which he knows next to nothing. I'll give him one point for staying somewhat on topic, albeit a nasty, condescending, demeaning, and totally inappropriate comment. Good going Krausie. You haven't lost your touch. Who said anything about the *Australian* Karen anyway? |

Lots of Halifax was settled after the revolutionary war by British loyalists from the USA. They could not abide being the losers and still live on this side of the border. |

Dutch/Danish who had property in Harlem. First they did settle in what is now New Brunswick but eventually came over to the good decent God fearin' people of the Digby area. A lot of those Loyalists people were of substance in New England and probably felt they deserved something from the British for staying loyal and losing everything. BTW we already had our own province... they just took a little more than half of it and created a new province. I guess we can't complain, they acted as a buffer between us and that rabble south of the border. ;-) |

Maybe the next perfect storm will break you free and leave you rabble on your own fantacy Island. |
