I have the greatest job in the world. I know, you’ve seen me write that before, but it’s true. I work with the most cheerful and amazing group of people. I say that because I’m sitting at a little wooden desk about 9,250 miles from Ft. Lauderdale, and still, you hold in your hands (or view on your computer) this month’s issue of The Triton, which marks our 6th birthday, by the way.

Yacht crew amaze me. Employed or not, busy or not, committed or not, they are passionate about the stuff in their lives.

Sometimes, even when they don’t know it.

Most yacht crew know it’s difficult to figure out what to do when it comes to U.S. immigration issues. You do everything you think you should – even things you hear customs and immigration officers tell you to do, or things you read in your trusted newspaper – and then when you get to the point of entry into the U.S., everything goes wrong.

I’m so thrilled to be able to report this month that captains and crew are moving around. After two months of not hearing much news in this department, it’s been fun corresponding with crew again to hear their news of new boats, new crews, new destinations and new accomplish-ments. Here are just a few of the latest.
