Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way

Today’s Photo of the Day is of ‘Aron’, a young Hungarian man who has sailed his modest little 19-footer all the way from Europe. She may not be the most luxurious boat, and the Galapagos to Marquesas leg might have taken him 52 days, but we’ll be darned if he isn’t both living life to the hilt and making the most of what he’s got. The photo was taken by Liz Clark of the Santa Barbara-based Cal 40 Swell, whose reaction was, "And I thought I was brave!"

Speaking of Liz, we suspect she’s gone a little bit ‘native’, as her surfing and local adventuring seem to have increased dramatically at the expense of her writing. Plus, she’s gone from lengthy, logical Western-type pieces to more lyrical, stream of consciousness stuff. Check it out in the October 1 Latitude 38.
