owner needs crew (I've crewed with him on his last two sailboats). He used to travel down to the Washington area for most of July in past years and we had full use of his boats while he was gone. The rest of the summer...he tries to get maximum use from the boat. My biggest worry will be having enough time to enjoy my new Bayliner and getting away from the city for road trips.


Eh, you'll find the time.

These days I have to get out and stretch my legs after an hours drive. I couldn't imagine driving cross country. It would take me forever.


I used to do it in my college days. Even then, with a carfull of guys
just as obnoxious as I was, it was boring and seemingly endless.

I don't think there was any confusion. Harry was just being Harry.

Enjoy the free travel!

The time we went out there we spent three very enjoyable days on the road, arriving
in Moab, UT, on the fourth day of travel. There is a lot to see and experience all
across this country, just as there is all across Canada. We stop about every 100
miles, or sooner if we want to see something. My pickup has enough leg room to
stretch them out plenty!

We visited Colorado National Monument, Arches National Park (NP), Canyonlands NP,
Bryce Canyon NP, Zion NP, Grand Canyon NP (North Rim), Zion NP, Capitol Reef NP, Dead
Horse Point State Park, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, and a few other spots going
and coming. A month long trip, and a lot of fun.

Of course, some would think that flying over those spots would be much more
enjoyable.

And you wonder why I didn't want to go on a boat ride with you.

No one thought you did. Don't be ridiculous.

Seeing the country through an airplane window is the preferred
mode for krause. He can see what you saw in a small fraction of
the time. And he saves a small fortune to boot. That's very
important to a guy who is up to his eyeballs in debt and has zero
assets to show for it. Do you really envy Krause and his
lifestyle? I sincerely hope not.

I hope I didn't leave the impression I envied Krause's flying abilities!

As for his lack of assets, I thought Krause owned a Wal Mart printer.

Spending an entire month pulling a motel room on wheels and visiting
parks has zero appeal to me. Of course, since both of you had military
careers where you accomplished nothing, it isn't surprising that the
mindlessness of driving around for a month is something you find appealing.

"If it's Tuesday, we must be in some other park." Yawn.

It's probably very familiar to someone like you, who spent a career in
the military and did absolutely nothing.
