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).
