Sun, Surf and Laying Around in Vietnam


Here I am on the last days of winter last year, enjoying some sunshine, a glass of wine, and 48° North on the patio of the Sailing Club (a beach-front bar and restaurant, not a boating club) in Nha Trang, Vietnam, a beach city on the South China Sea, about an hour flight north of Saigon. My wife Pat and I try to get away to here every winter for a family visit and some sun, surf, swimming, and lazing around the pool.
