foxy’s bar

Like sweet, smoky incense—the scent of barbecue hangs in the Caribbean night air. The DJ is black and muscled. A high priest draped in robes of red, gold and green. A lion’s mane of dreadlocks crown his head and drip down his back. He lures the congregants to his dance floor with Jimmy Buffet and Bob Marley. In his tabernacle they are barefoot and sun-burnt…

armorgos

There is an island in the Aegean whose name rolls off your tongue with the deliciousness of honey. Amorgos. Pronounced slowly and deliberately, lingering emphatically, for a moment on the -gos.

Bellamy Cay

Another beautiful balmy night on Tortola, the BVI’s largest and capital island. I open a wooden box that is affixed to a palapa near the dock and lift the receiver of an old-school telephone. I dial and inform the woman with a Caribbean lilt on the other end of the line that we would like a pick up (as the sign instructs us to do)…

Koh Hong: Unexpected Sanctuary

“Babe, I am seriously not interested in going any farther.” Long pause while he buys time... We are paddling a two-man inflatable kayak in a sea cave in Thailand. The water is still, the air is oppressively hot—thick with humidity and the smell of bat guano, and we are in absolute blackness. It’s the kind of dark that almost doesn’t feel real…
