Sparkplugs & Silver. The majority of the U.S.'s new sailors are a happy, capable crew who are willing to suffer minor discomforts for the sake of new discoveries. Waiting for them are thousands of miles of unexplored regions-the Great Lakes, Lake Champlain, San Francisco's Bay, New England's coves, New Orleans' delta. Wherever they go, they find others like themselves, eager to share possessions and experiences. Marinas, yachtels and boatels welcome them with everything from ice to beer to sparkplugs to diapers.

Tom Griffin, in the role of the stranger, appears somewhat nervous; maybe he's supposed to be--I guess we all would, in that kind of company. Jim Swan, one of the College's most assured actors, leads the denizen crew with a misguided righteousness that very nicely constructs the mood for the rest. They are: Robert Schwartz, Richard Dozier, George de Menil, Travis Linn and Richard Fisher--with a special hello to Mr. Dozier.
