Boating book, "Tesoro" on Amazon Kindle. 14 years 3 months ago #22882

Title is Tesoro: Red Sky in Morning". It's about a hair-raising trip I made from Ft Lauderdale to Eufaula Alabama and back to Ft. Lauderdale in a 27' Cheoy Lee sloop back in the early eighties, replete with Gulf storms, and river flooding! You'll love it. It should be available for download at Amazon in a couple of days.

Some people are like slinkies... Not much good for anything, but they sure are fun to push down the stairs.

Thanks, Ron! But I swam to work, not school. Only did it a couple of times. Seemed sensible, since it was two miles by water and eight or ten miles by bicycle. Bicycling was quicker and easier as it turned out! Ah, to be young and foolish again!

\"too soon old,too late smart\" my pap
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“ ---Mark Twain |

Looks like an interesting book!
And, I think I'd do 10 miles on a bike ANYDAY before swimming 2- Especially this time of year  John- You can download a free Kindle app that'll let you read kindle books on your PC, you can find it at Amazon.com |

It's a Kawasaki W650. Kaw bought the comapny that bopught BSA and sold the Lightning as a W1. The W650 was developed from the W1 and is what a BSA ought to be today!

Kindle has added free app downloads that allow you to read Kindle books on your home computer or laptop. ALSO, before receiving my copyright, I renamed the book, "Tesoro". Now you can order the book on Amazon Kindle without being confused by the OTHER books names Red Sky in Morning!
