Hi MIke: Just finished a book that made me think of you: _Sailing Back in Time_ by Maria Coffey and Dag Goering. Sub- titled "A Nostalgic Voyage on Canada's West Coast", it is about a cruise in company of two wooden engine-less sailboats. Both were junk-rigged. The larger boat was a 3-masted junk sailed by a very unusual (and now deceased) couple: Allen and Sharie Farrell. Allen was a Wobblie and a socialist. I bet you met them since they spent a lot of time sailing near Lasqueti Island. Still sailing in their mid- 80's, they gave away their boat and possessions and went to live by the beach in Mexico. Allen, in particular, didn't like to look back but rather forward to new adventures and challenges. I hope there are many more adventures for you in Cuba and elsewhere and that you're still having a great time. Warm regards, Jerry
