The Vilisar Times

The life and times of Ronald and Kathleen and our voyages aboard S/V Vilisar, a 34.5-foot wooden Wm-Atkin-designed sailing cutter launched in Victoria, BC, Canada, in 1974. Since we moved aboard in 2001 Vilisar has been to Alaska, British Columbia, California, Mexico, The Galapagos and mainland Ecuador, Panama and Costa Rica.

TEMPORARY BLOG HIATUS; CONTRIBUTE A COMMENT
La Guardia, Isla de Margarita, Venezuela, 17 May 2007

Temporary blog hiatus

I am somewhat handicapped at the moment because my laptop and digital camera along with some money were stolen in a robbery at our house here in La Guardia. Maybe that's what I get for wondering aloud in print recently about the high crime rate in Venezuela!

Anyway, we shall be heading back to Ecuador in about a week at which time I might be able to join up with a used computer and camera coming with my teenage son. The good part of the story is that we are both unharmed though a little shaken byt he experience. Maybe one day I shall blog the whole ghastly saga.

Thanks to those who contributed comments especially about the article below called "How not to win friends and influence people". I would love to hear from more people on the topics of how to protest the "detention" of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay and how to end the occupation of Iraq.
