Hi Greg,

It really has changed... I've talked to people who remember back when most of the roads were dirt path and cows were roaming around free. Back then the water in the Lagoon was clean and crystal clear, and people would swim in it every day. Visiting cruising boats could see their anchors touch bottom...

I wish I could have seen Saint Martin back then, and hope to sail to places that have not yet been affected by cruise ships, casinos, megayachts and resort complexes... maybe in the Pacific.. I think that will make a really good video!

Thanks and happy sailing,

Drake

BTW, I see you have a Norsea 27 - a beautiful boat! One of the subscribers to my youtube channel also has a Norsea 27 named 'Rhapsody.' He also has a youtube channel and recently posted a couple of video tours if you're interested.. He's at www.youtube.com/w4abn. He also has a wonderful blog about his boat at http://norsea27-rhapsody.blogspot.com/
