"I was very dubious at first about coming here for dental work," recalls Mark Hamilton, a San Diego telecommunications consultant who came to Goldstein in Tijuana in 1983 for root-canal treatment. "But now I am convinced that not only is it cheaper, but also I am getting superior dentistry. They care more down here."

Through the Panama Canal and up the west coast to Alaska, they think, and eventually to Tahiti, of course, and one year or another, Michel says, "we go to France so my boys can be French too." When they are at sea, the boys take correspondence courses that are accredited in France. When anchored, Michel feels schools are important for social intercourse. "They must know there are little girls" (yes, thank heaven, he said, "leetel gulls") "and good guys and bad guys and all those things...
