Whale-watching tours return

By ALDETH LEWIN (Daily News Staff) ST. THOMAS – The Environmental Association of St. Thomas-St. John (EAST) once again is hosting a series of whale watches to learn about the enormous mammals and hopefully see some, too.

Last year, about 30 people were treated to a spectacular show as three humpback whales frolicked around the boat for almost 45 minutes. While a whale sighting is never guaranteed, the trips can be fun and educational.

Each year, the nonprofit organization hosts whale watches in February and March. This year the dates are Feb. 26, March 4 and March 11. … Read More

HEART OF THE SEA
by Lisa Denker, Charlotte Lagarde (57 min) 2002

HEART OF THE SEA is a portrait of Rell “Kapolioka’ ehukai” Sunn, who died in January 1998 of breast cancer at the age of 47. Known worldwide as a pioneer of women’s professional surfing, at home in Hawaii Rell achieved the   stature of an icon – not only for her physical power, grace and luminous beauty, but for her leadership in a community that loved her as much as she loved it.

By the time she lost a 15 year battle with breast cancer, Rell’s legacy had grown far beyond athletic feats. HEART  OF THE SEA tells her larger-than-life story.

Remember to bring your own chair & call Juliette at Sputniks (775-7373) if you would like to order one of her delicious roti.
