Sailing To Luperon, Dominican Republic
Just arrived in Luperon, Dominican Republic, on the S/V Ellida, with Tom Jones and Karmen Chow. It was a good trip. Tom is a great skipper, Karmen is a wonderful chef, and S/V Ellida is a solid boat that is ready for a few more trips around the Caribbean.

"Myths and legends die hard in America.We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality.Weird heroes and mold-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of 'the rat race' is not yet final."
