Nicely done, Chuck. 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.

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?

IF you knew anything about mechanics, you'd know that it's a WHOLE lot
more complicated than that. But, then again, you're a liberal arts
major.

Nice story.
The note at the end of the story says "Also, it should be added,
newspaper accounts are usually rather unreliable, and should be
approached with caution." How true.

Halifax would be a viable home to anti American people. 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.

Not just Halifax. So many came that they decided to split the
original Nova Scotia into two provinces... us and New Brunswick.
$%^%$#$ yanks... always trying to take over and change perfectly good
situations.

So the losers from down here came up there, kicked your ass, then pushed you off into your own province?

That's hilarious!!

"Among the results of the treaty was the decision to resolve the San Juan dispute by
international arbitration, with Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany chosen to act as arbitrator.
Wilhelm referred the issue to a three-man arbitration commission which met in Geneva for
nearly a year.[9] On October 21, 1872, the commission decided in favor of the United
States.[2][5][7] The arbitrator chose the American-preferred marine boundary via Haro
Strait, to the west of the islands, over the British preference for Rosario Strait which
lay to their east."

Probably a great decision. The San Juan islands and the Canadian Gulf
Island are totally different geology. The San Juan's are actually mountain
tops where the Gulf Islands are more high spots off Vancouver Island.
