I've never seen any claim by Harry that he has sailed around the horn
one or more times.

Krause made that claim 8 years ago in this NG. I thought at the time
that he might have sailed around the horn of *Floriduh* and was being
'cute' with his words again. But he was backed into a corner about his
claim and stood by his claim of sailing 'round THE Horn a "couple"
times. Later, we learned by engaging him in discussions about this area
that he never even did the horn of Floriduh...even once!

My boating adventures aren't the world's most exciting, nor do they need to
be for boating to be fun- which is what this is all about.

Then why do you belittle the real boating adventures of others?

As far as the 36-foot lobster boat goes: I would bet big money that
Harry owns his Parker.
Even one of his regional neighbors, John H, (who is no great fan of
Harry) confirms that he owns that boat. I would bet less money on the
lobster boat, only because Harry has been less than forthcoming with
any real details about the boat. He has claimed its because he is po'd
at Skipper and Skipper is demanding the information.

Skipper KNOWS Krause does not have that lobster boat. He's just tugging
on Krause's chain. Krause is like some others in this NG who cannot
admit a lie...if you know what I mean, Chucky.

As one who shares Psuedo's Schidt List with Mr. Krause, I'm in a unique position to
appreciate that perspective. There are some guys to whom you'd hesitate
to offer a drink of water if you were crossing a desert in a tanker
truck and they were alongside the roadway dying of thirst. Me, I'd be
all grumpy about it but I'd probably give him some water. Can't speak
for Harry, however.

You know, I'd bet most of the NG could detect the truth of our meetings
in Seattle based on both our statements. You have yet to come clean on
any of your (let's just call them misstatements). That Burger story is a
good example of illuminating the truth. It would seem most would
remember donating a pair of shoes to an oil spurting engine.
