Quiet place

Hi kids!

Here's old Angel Jen chatting up Cat Man Jim at the quiet place we
finally found to watch the races in Georgetown. See all the people
sitting on the wall. There were a lot more you can't see. Looks like a
lot of people wanted to escape the reggae rap blast.

Jim owns a catamaran. That's why we call him Cat Man. A catamaran is a
boat with two hulls instead of one. He's from California and he's
headed for the Dominican Republic. He doesn't know why and neither do
I. He doesn't have a life raft, an EPIRB, a dinghy anchor, not even a
hand held VHF radio. He has a shortwave receiver that he doesn't know
how to turn on so he can't get weather reports. All of his flashlight
batteries are dead. But he's out there, doing it. He's a tribute to
optimism. The world needs optimists. Of course, Darwinian principles
would suggest that there are fewer and fewer every day, so we need
more all the time.

So be good kids, race your boats hard and be an optimist!
