     IV Play moored in Dick Sesinger's Bay, Cayman Brac.  What a life!  Five minutes after tying up to the mooring, two beautiful young blonde ladies swam out to the boat and gave me a bottle of wine to welcome me to Cayman Brac!  Talk about hospitality...

     Heading up the Río Dulce canyon.

     Denny's Beach on Lago Izabal, Guatemala.

     Trying to work my way up a small tributary of the Río Chacon Machaca, El Golfete, just off the Río Dulce in Guatemala, but nature kept putting logs and fallen trees in the way.

     Port Antonio, Jamaica.  That's Navy Island in the background, it was once the home of Errol Flynn.

     Halloween at the Cayuco Club at Mario's Marina. That's me along with Frank the Shipwright who was Frank the Rasta that night.

     An undercover DEA agent hard at work during the Halloween Party at the Cayuco Club.

     That's me again, but this time I'm hard at work and taking up bandwidth at the palapa at

Mario's Marina on the Río Dulce, Guatemala.

     Bob Bitchin and myself at the Miami Boat Show.  Here and now I would like to put to rest the vicious rumors that we are one and the same person and are never seen together in the same place at the same time.  Bob is taller, but I am better looking.  And yes, it's the same shirt as in the photo above, hey...I like it!

     Sunset at Lee Stocking Island, Exuma, Bahamas.

tn03.jpg (11277 bytes)      Sunset catches Moria at anchor at French Wells, Crooked Island, Bahamas.
tn08.jpg (11272 bytes)      This is the view from the "back porch" aboard Armond Perretta's S/V Kerry Deare. She was heading down east to New Brunswick, Canada, July of 1997, for Campobello Island and Grand Manan. The weather that summer was "the best we've seen in 25 years," to quote a local.
tn10.jpg (9667 bytes)      One of my favorite anchorages, though you must take a mooring here now, is the north anchorage at Warderick Wells, the home of the Exuma Park Headquarters.
tn11.jpg (13534 bytes)      A confiscated catch of lobster. A couple of local gentlemen cruised into Exuma Park and in less than ten minutes had this in their boat.
tn13.jpg (8861 bytes)      The beautiful beach at West Bay, Conception Island, Bahamas. That's Sue and George Brown, of the S/V Pod Logic, just coming ashore.
tn14.jpg (12086 bytes)      Unfortunately, Toots The Sailing Parrot is no longer aboard the good ship IV Play...she passed away in 2009.  Rest in peace Toots...
