You may not remember me, but we talked several years ago as I began a voyage/project to sail from San Diego to France alone pn a small boat. I am legally blind, and you folks did a story on me. I am living and touring in France (I am a musician) now. The trip had an horrific end with the US Coast Guard, and I lost my boat a few hundred miles off the coast of Baja Mexico.

I am, after some recovery period, starting the project again. (some folks can’t learn, I guess). But this time I tart from Europe, go to San Diego, and will fly a flag from another country for protection from the US Coast Guard.
