Antilia is to the Caribbean Islands as Avalon is to the British Isles, an island in the mist. Is Puerto Rico, Antilia? A coast hugger, I sail with new and old friends as often as possible in Andariego (Wanderer), exploring and learning from the sea and the stars. These are my meandering stories.
Quote of the Month
"Not all those who wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, 1954.
“We must change our attitudes toward the ocean. We must regard it as no longer a mystery, a menace, something so vast and invulnerable that we need not concern ourselves with it … Instead we want to explore the themes of the ocean’s existence—how it moves and breathes, how it experiences dramas and seasons, how it nourishes its hosts of living things, how it harmonizes the physical and biological rhythms of the whole earth, what hurts it and what feeds it—not least of all, what are its stories.” Jacques Yves Cousteau, 1910-1997.
"It's the glory of the sea that has turned my head." Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island, 1894.

Ho, Ho, Ho
May the new year bring new shores to explore, gentle winds, and following seas.
