  11. Hype for the Future 50F: The Virgin Islands of the United States

    The United States Virgin Islands 🇻🇮, formerly Danish, apparently violate international law by driving on the left side of the road, in spite of being claimed by the right-driving United States. International legal conventions often expect all sovereign states to have the same driving direction throughout their respective territories, yet numerous additional examples may also be identified, such as Canada remaining a Commonwealth realm yet being a right-driving sovereign state. The […]

  23. 1979 Cruising Permit

    In 1979, my mom and dad, and their friends the Hollisters, started a long-time tradition of chartering bare-boat sailboats in the Caribbean.

    As I’ve been working my way through things I kept from the house, I recently got to scanning this cruising permit which my father had always kept framed on the wall near his work bench.

    To all whom these presents may come
    greetings
    know all men that by
    the powers vested in me by the Government
    of the Virgin Islands
    Bruce Constantine
    Master of the Vessel Kona Kai
    with his gallant crew of 4
    is entitled peacefully to cruise and enjoy
    the waters, beaches and reefs
    of these blessed islands
    from the 18 day of Nov 1979
    to the 25 day of Nov 1979
