Crabby in Tortola~
February 12, 2014
I’m feeling a bit crabby about leaving Tortola & St Croix. (Please click to enlarge).

Even the sky celebrates here.
Cheers to you, and goodbye to glorious Tortola & St Croix, next stop Puerto Rico!

“It is dreaming big,” declares the anesthesiologist and entrepreneur, whose enthusiasm makes him an effective pitch man for Project Immunity, based in Oakland, California. Its web videos have helped the effort raise US$402,000 from crowd-funders, and the technology-startup accelerator Y Combinator, based in Mountain View, California, has chipped in another $20,000.
