JANUARY 2008
� ARIES (21 Mar - 20 Apr)
You will have lots of romantic distractions for the first
three weeks, but try to stay on course. Don’t let a spot of
bad weather in the last week set your sails aback.
� TAURUS (21 Apr - 21 May)
Your creative juices will be flowing with lots of wind in
your sails. Make the most of it before the 21st. A new love
interest will sail in during the last week.
� GEMINI (22 May - 21 Jun)
Batten down the hatches. This January will seem to be
nothing but squalls of arguments in your love life, culminating
with a possible mutiny by month’s end!
CANCER � (22 Jun - 23 Jul)
The creative head-seas that started late last month will
continue for the first three weeks of this one. Your sense
of humor is still stowed in the bilge, too. Just concentrate
on work on board and the time will pass more quickly.
� LEO (24 Jul - 23 Aug)
You may feel misunderstood and put upon during the
last three weeks. There will be lots of support from loved
ones and friends, though, so use this aspect to sail
through to better conditions.
� VIRGO (24 Aug - 23 Sep)
Though your business sails may seem to be backed and
love will be tacking to and fro, your creativity will be on a
positive tack until the 21st.
� LIBRA (24 Sep - 23 Oct)
Your creative energies may not be appreciated until
the 21st. Your verbal skills will help you coast through
the doldrums.
� SCORPIO (24 Oct - 22 Nov)
Other than a few misunderstandings, this month will be
smooth sailing with only an occasional shower to wash decks.
� SAGITTARIUS (23 Nov - 21 Dec)
Love and romance will demand most of your attention
this month. Except for a storm near the end of the month,
all should be smooth sailing.
� CAPRICORN (22 Dec - 20 Jan)
Your creative juices will be flowing, so spend your time
with special projects onboard and put your business concerns
in the sail locker for a while.
� AQUARIUS (21 Jan - 19 Feb)
Use your verbal skills to express your inner concerns
and straighten out any misunderstandings with fellow
crewmembers or cruising pals.
� PISCES (20 Feb - 20 Mar)
This month you will meet head seas whichever course
you choose. There will be difficulties in your love life, too,
culminating with a possible squall at month’s end. Try not
to let it all get you down — fair winds are on the way.

Island Poets
For Uncle Zeph,
and the Windward Boys!
Big vessel reach today, wid plenty o’ lights.
Ketch rig modern cuttah, dat is what dey call dem dese days.
T’ree jib up front; all o’ dem roll up kind… mon — a tall rig boy!
But ya know, somet’ing not right.
Watch! …de fella got all dem almost cuttah sail and ting but,
De mainsail all covered and he cruising wid full awning sail rigged and all such ting!
De mizzen it got all set of radar and windmill and serious radio antennae and it covered too.
Now, it ain’t got no Carriacou or Bequia or Canouan man going to trim his cuttah to ketch and none o’ dem
would enter bay wid sails covered. No. Dat why I know it a yacht.
Dis one, de one I on, dat be the onliest true vessel in de bay on dis day.
What! …you ain’t know it?
De fishermen dem, dey know it.
And de West Indian people know, dem fellas up windward side…
Dey build good ships, and know how to sail dem! Dey must! Dey travel far…
and want to return to Windward —
To home.
