So, I am hanging out at the Beach Bar at Cruz Bay, St.John, drinking an carib beer, and talking to a “newbie” to the island. He is looking for a crew position on ANY boat. I ask him what his qualifications are and he hands me a 3 X 5 card with the following poem that he is giving out to boat captains in the bay.

What do you think? Will he actually get a crew position using this marketing piece? I’m going to track this young dreamer and see what happens.
 

A Tropical Perspective
 
Down in the Caribbean I don’t speak,

I sing – my heart growing strings.

Down In the Caribbean I don’t see I paint,

my hands sprouting leaves.

Down in the Caribbean I am a bird, a fish,

a fruit a river, a green mountain range,

and carved stone the sun

Up here I am just a voice that clamors bounces

off concrete.
 
I am a tropical person who must spend time in the Caribbean. Any crew positions open? I am willing to sail anywhere! Contact me at…..
