Letter
St. Lucia
May 29, 2007 (from the June 2007 Issue)
This avid and perhaps dangerously optimistic reader traveled to the island of St. Lucia in June with his wife in order to celebrate the couple’s tenth anniversary. “I got a good chuckle out of the ‘Beware Of Falling Coconuts’ signs on Jalousie Beach,” wrote Mark Ferry of Wayzata. “I never had one fall on me, but I had my copy of The Rake to use for protection just in case.”
While The Rake is a solid read, full of strong writing and hard-nosed reporting, we would have to suggest a helmet for deflecting coconuts. At least until that day when we publish a hard-cover edition.
Send along your Rakish travel snaps by snail mail or to prodmail@rakemag.com, and if we publish yours, we’ll send you a nonthermal, nonextreme Rake T-shirt and a $25 gift certificate from West Photo (21 University Ave. N.E., Minneapolis).
