Thats what I wanna do, combine my two great loves, sailing and
caving. What kinda boat were you cruising on?

We were there on our Grand Banks trawler.

Wayne, nice pics. One question though. Why did you choose a slow boat as
your mode of transportation. You could have done a low fly by in a plane
and gotten some great shots out the plane window. ;-)

Slow is relative. We have a SeaRay runabout and several RIB dinghys
for zipping around at speed, but you really can't beat a nice big
trawler for traveling long distances and living aboard. On a 500
mile offshore run the trawler will beat any speedboat I know.

If you can figure out how to get pictures of coral reefs, fish and
caves from a plane window, I'd like to buy that camera. :-)

Just kidding Wayne. That was how krause would typically respond. You
know how he hates to travel by boat.

I know, that's what he says now anyway. Things were different when
he had the Hatteras sportfish with the "Corinthian" leather seats.
:-)

That's before he had to leave Florida.

A. I've never liked wasting time on a boat getting from one distant
location to another.

B. I never had a boat with "Corinthian" leather seats.

C. I never "had" to leave Florida.

D. Go foch yourself.

Got it?

Then why do you have a 36' Zimmerman like lobster boat?

B. I never had a boat with "Corinthian" leather seats.

What type of seats does you 36' Zimmerman like lobster boat have?

C. I never "had" to leave Florida.

I guess you could have stayed, but with your wife being the bread
winner, and her taking a union organizing job in DC, you'd be living
in a cardboard box down by the railroad tracks.

D. Go foch yourself.

Yet another example of what a low life, vulgar fat piece of trash you
are.

Got it?

Yep, loud and clear, scumbag.

How little you know. Berkeley Breathed the cartoonist,[ draws Opus]
wrote for Boating and had a forty foot speedboat. Twin 600 hp Seatek
racing engines with 50 percent more power than a Cat or Cummins the
same size and weight. Arneson drives the ones with the shafts exiting
through the transom well above the on plane waterline. Seven blade
props that run with half the prop in the water. No drag from a shaft
or hub. 65 top speed, 50 for 900 miles. Deep V, intended for open
ocean. Low aero drag. No windshield, let alone radar. V berth, a small
saloon with room for six around a table. Tiny galley, cramped head. A
Carribean cruiser for the hurricane season.

The fuel consumption would do it for me. It would outrun a pirate, or
weather, however.

You know the trip under discussion is one of ten hours. How fancy do
you really need it?
