The
Malaika Reports
Lynne
and Chris Morgan (and their dog Takoon) are
sailing around the world aboard Malaika, a 39-foot steel cutter. In
South Africa, they refitted Malaika with recycled wood and hand-me-downs,
then they sailed across the Atlantic to South America, the Carribbean,
and back to Colombia (where they survived a pirate attack). They're
currently in Panama. Their zest for adventure, and their ability to
live the cruising dream on a tight budget, will inspire all who long
to cut the dock lines and head for distant horizons.
