Maybe one more question:

From what institution did Krause earn his Yale degree?

You forgot one: Pick a number between 1 and 5, representing the number of
minutes it would take me to terminate you and slip you into a nearby, with
the police watching, smiling and approving?

The Canary Islands are in the Atlantic, not the Pacific, and the name

BTW, why didn't you move to the west coast and buy that trawler?

Truth is that once you are south of Seattle, there are a lot more
cruising opportunities on the east coast. And you don't need foul
weather gear, long underwear and a cabin heater to enjoy them.
