How the Confederate Navy (indirectly) ended a war in the Pacific Northwest
Then considered America's "longest war", an armed standoff between US
and British troops on San Juan Island was part of a larger border dispute. The simplified, popular version of the tale recounts that the war began when a US settler shot a Hudson Bay Company pig, but very few people actually know how the war ended. Find out how the Confederate Navy played an important role in the crazy political drama that finally ended the war and established a permanent international border. www.pacnwboat.com |

We still have fond memories of our trip to San Juan Island and the Roche Harbor Resort, just wish we'd had more time. We met a nice group of folks at the marina who offered to take us out for a sail on their Catalina 50 but we had to pass because of our tight schedule. http://www.rocheharbor.com/Home.html |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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." |

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. |
