Hi, Ken
and La-iad: I love the
photos which allow me to enjoy myself almost as much
as - and sometimes more than - being there (when a
picture shows nasty weather sailing, for instance).
I will post your letter to share with the Wayfarer
world. Happy Valentine's Day and kisses to La-iad. Love, Uncle
Al W3854
OCT 2018 enter port, furling
foresail, under shock-cord steering.
FEB 2019 from www.varuna.org 3
hours out in RS Venture to the islands in the
background
At our bungalow on Phu Quoc
Island.
Hi Al ! Congratulations and very well
done -*Chaiooh*, Thai for Hurray - on your Storer
Trophy! You, dear Sir, not being local,
must - despite the cold Vortex chasing you chilled
behind down there from Toronto- have picked up fairly
good familiarity with the lake. Naturally W3854 in
good shape and fighting spirits along with her skipper
and crew. Keep it up - wishing You best of luck at and
on Lake Eustis, FL! How indeed we would have loved
to have sailed, to watch and cheer from the sidelines
in the now coming event. Before mid-MAR hopefully W1348
"Maitken" will mark her slip-streams from Dragoer like
so many before since 1966. Met a Danish Lady author/writer
at Phu Quoc [largest island of Vietnam here in SE-part
of Siam Gulf]. The Lady now 60 years, sporty, with
three sons, the oldest a Major and appointed UN
Liaison Officer from Denmark to Bagdad[during the
Iraq-Iran war we had to fly in there at night from
Saudi Arabia - IF the 'road+sky clear'!]. At age 38 this lady, Ms. Iselin
C. Hermann, came with her first book "Prioritaire"
which I got to hear via www.eReolen.dk as a
'sound-book' with her own very voice! It is about
an interesting love affair, AND this lady really knows
how to write! Very priviledged to have a few chats
over five days there at Phu Qouc. All the best with love ! Crew
