This is the 40th anniversary of a true-life story concerning Scarface Al Capone.
It starts in January 1986 on board my old sailboat, New Wave. The crew and I were just beginning to transit the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific. After sailing via from Key West to Cuba, Mexico, Guatemala and Nicaragua, the plan was to head through the canal up the West Coast of Mexico to Los Angeles and from there onto Hawaii continuing west around the world.
