Wow. This depresses me on multiple levels. A 16kt stinkpot/shitbox that gets 0.075 nm/gal fuel economy — this utterly sucks on even a per-passenger basis.
Amphitrite by Simon Morris guards Sunset Reef just offshore of Sunset House dive-friendly resort on Grand Cayman Island. You’ll need to dive to 55′ to see her.
The Searavens have noticed this Bristol Channel Cutter Eye of Infinity on the hard at Breakwater Cove Marina in Monterey for what must be two years now getting refit. We have now found that she will part of the Baha HaHa fleet this year. We hope that BCC can be rescued an put back into production, they are beautiful, even without funky paint jobs.
I have a friend who spoke Japanese and travelled there frequently on business in the ’90s. He told me that a fun thing for the Japanese to do was to try and ‘freak out the gaijin‘ by taking them to a special sushi restaurant where the specialty was ikezukuri, or sashimi served so fresh it was still quivering. He smiled and downed the dish with as much cool as he could muster.
I also understand that when the Japanese were first introduced to cheese (just rotted milk, really) they were revolted. No word on prairie oysters.

Warning: ‘Australian’ science as reported in Pravda
“Recent studies of Australian scientists indicate that Atlanteans, the people who lived on a legendary island first mentioned by Plato, may have been the ancestors of dolphins.
No matter how weird it may appear, dolphins used to have two legs and a couple of arms in place of fins. They lived side by side with the people of the Stone Age,” said Dr. Leslie Huskerway, a biologist.
While fishing in about 1,400 feet of water off the South Coast of Grand Cayman, Mr. Wright’s attention was drawn to an object that was floating on the surface nearby. He motored over to investigate and picked up a dead fish that simply amazed him. It is now also astonishing scientists both here and in the United States.
In the belly of the fish was another fish, and this one was clearly much, much bigger. In fact when it was measured it was determined that the fish he picked up had eaten a ‘snake mackerel’ that was more than four times its own length.
“When I first saw it I really couldn’t believe my eyes,” said Wright. “It had obviously just died, so I decided I had to put it in the boat and take it down to the Department of the Environment to investigate it further.”
Marine Scientist Phillippe Bush snapped some photographs and sent them up to the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in the United States. A short time later, Tracey Sutton wrote back saying the fish “was appropriately called a ‘Great Swallower’ and it normally lives in deep water.”
