This page follows the current adventure of Mark Major and his feline sidekick, Barnacle onboard "Lesismor" , a 23ft Hunter. On this trip they are currently cruising through the 10,000 Islands area of southwest Florida; a beautifully unspoiled area populated by few humans. Mark is keeping in touch with Bill, the clubs webmaster, by text emails via his cell phone.
