I have been working in Afghanistan for the US Army since 2008, with a small break of 5 months back in Georgia..I own a French Motorsailer, a Kirie Fifty 33'... That boat has kept me alive for the last several years with thoughts of sailing to and living in the Bahamas..I love your magazine,and Cap't Fatty is the best!!! Regards, Earl garrett lost in Afghanistan
