Subject: RE: News From Guam
I remember the Piti power plant. I remember that marina, too. I was going to sail some guy's boat back when I returned to the states. Sail from Guam to California. Would have been a great trip, but he backed out when he learned I'd never sailed before. And he contended it would be too great a leap for me to make, from bass boating with a little trolling motor to solo sail crossing of the Pacific. I didn't see any problem with it, but people are SO PROTECTIVE of their THINGS, so he shipped the sailboat back in a container. I flew back.

Seriously, though, some folks sail to Hawaii and then on to Guam, but they're not up to the return leg, or they abandon their around the world idea and look for people to sail the boats back to the West Coast. If you're the nautical type, that would be THE way to make the return trip. But don't mention bass fishing if you really want the job.
