It is really hard to believe that the Japanese government is trying to support an industry that turns these animals into human food. I highly recommend the documentary about this topic called "The Cove".

The last few pictures of my Panama trip

Another 30 or so pictures from the sailing in Panama adventure.

These are the first of a series of pictures from my recent sailing trip in Panama. I feel blessed to have been able to experience a little slice of the Ocean Gybe adventure without having to do 20 straight days at sea or any passage greater than 90 miles. I've got total respect for what these guys are doing. Even in my easy going and leisure filled time on the "yacht", I could see how much work and effort it takes to keep things running smoothly.

Thanks, Hugh, for having me aboard.
