I'm sure there _must_ some bumbling royalty bumbling about the
Caribbean someplace. Perhaps it's _not_ too late after all. You could
call your publication "Caribbean Attitudes in Caribbean Latitudes"
or, "How The Rich And Famous Would _Like_ To Live If They Didn't Have
All That Money Holding Them Back" and feature Puerto Rico as the
"home port" with side articles about living in, cruising.among, and,
oh yes, must not forget, partying your way through the other
Caribbean islands. :-)
Hey, you might even be able to get the ads together well enough to
get your 32 footer rebuilt so that you have a bit more room. I hear
it's been done before on much larger boats. Upgrading a 32 would be a
real bargain in comparison. Maybe add a 10 foot section in the
middle, a wheel instead of that tiller, and another mast. A cockpit
Jacuzzi might be nice too, complete with gold handles, etc. If you
check on ebay, you might find some good buys on those gold thingys
these days.:-)
Grab that gold ring! (The brass one takes too much effort to keep
clean and bright and isn't worth much these days anyway.)
