A PIRATE EMERGES


Montauk Rider at 18, Ready to Ride to Alaska

An eighteen-year-old never knows what might happen tomorrow. This particular and very lucky fellow turned 18 and spent an entire Summer driving with his sister all around the US and Canada -- hell, all the way to Alaska and the Danali.

Thus began a certain Pirate's lust for adventure. I blame my sister Betsy for taking me "on the road." I've never wanted to leave it since.

And I thank her deeply for the gift of wonder she first shared and then imparted to me.

    Even at 17, you were a pirate just waiting to happen!
