  4. This one reminded me of the 42nd America Cup which took place in Valencia. I was there at the first race. I thought it would be too crowded to see anything... but I saw everything, Magic.

  6. Thank you for my discovery here of a memory, which otherwise was lost forever.

    You put me right there on the sea in that old 32-footer, sailing, course 220 out of Naples--to Dry Tortuga. Loved swimming with the dolphins, when once becalmed.

    Serendipity comes from old word for Sri Lanka "Serendip" (Don't ask for more, that's all I remember...
    Love and PEACE, Patti!
