Congratulations on your weight loss. I do not have anything against
low-carb diets, as I follow one myself, but you stated he could have all
the drinks he wanted, which may not be true if he wants a whole bunch of
alcohol. Vodka has 100 calories in 1.5 oz. If I *want* 10 drinks,
that's 1,000 calories. If I've already eaten my normal maintenance
amount of 1500 calories for the day, that adds up to 2500. If I keep
taking in that amount and don't change my exercise patterns, I will gain
weight. Alcohol also burns before fat calories, so if you're trying to
lose fat while drinking too much, it isn't going to work. That's the
only point I'm trying to make.

I understand your point but the calorie formulas you state don't hold
true for low carb dieting. The daily allowance of 1500 calorie numbers
are only accurate if you are on a high carb diet.

But you already know that.

Wildlife Attractions & Tours

Kangaroo Island is rightly famous for its prolific wildlife, but
finding some of the more reclusive residents might require a little
local knowledge. Guarantee sightings and insights on one of the
Island's many wildlife tours.

SEADREAM YACHT CLUB
2009 SCHEDULES AND ITINERARIES

Many New Ports in Europe and Caribbean

Focus is on Unique and Exclusive Yachting Destinations

SeaDream Yacht Club, well on its way to 100 percent utilization of its 2008
availability in its European summer and Caribbean winter sailings, has
published its 2009 schedules and itineraries for those travelers who wisely
plan ahead.

All details from January through December 2009 for SeaDream's award-winning
mega yacht cruisers SeaDream I and II, may be found on its website---

www.seadream.com.

Commenting on the 2009 sailings, Larry Pimentel, President and CEO of
award-winning SeaDream Yacht Club, stated: "As in previous years 2009 will
find our small, sleek, 50-couple yachts sailing in European waters in the
summer and in the Caribbean in the winter. They will call not only at
vibrant port cities, but at small and exclusive seaside towns and villages
where the big passenger ships can't go.

"Calling at small yachting ports is a specialty of ours," Pimentel said.

In Europe from May through October, SeaDream I and II will sail in the
Mediterranean, the Adriatic Sea, the Aegean Sea, up into Croatia and even
down to Tunisia. Embarkation ports include Barcelona, Seville, Tenerife,
Lisbon, Nice, Monte Carlo, Rome, Venice, Athens and Dubrovnik.

In the Caribbean from January through April, the two SeaDream yachts will
sail in the British Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico's
Virgin Islands, French West Indies, Netherlands Antilles and the Windward
and Leeward Islands. Embarkation and debarkation ports include convenient
and accessible air gateways---San Juan, St. Thomas, Antigua and Barbados.

SeaDream will also call on the ports of Miami, Palm Beach and Key West in
2009.

New ports for 2009 for SeaDream's European sailings are: Formentera (Spain);
Lipari, St. Margherita, Trieste (Italy): Le Lavandou, Antibes, Port Vendres,
Sete, Bandol and Menton (France); Piran (Slovenia); Vis (Croatia); La
Goulette, Tunis (Tunisia); Katakolon, Elafonisos, Aigina, Chania, Crete
(Greece); Mali, Losinj (Croatia) and Ponta Delgada (the Azores).

New ports in 2009 for SeaDream's Caribbean sailings are: Dewey, Culebra
(Puerto Rico's Virgin Islands); Honeymoon Beach and Water Island (U.S.
Virgin Islands); Cooper Island (British Virgin Islands); Coconut Grove,
Nevis and Samana (Dominican Republic).

Yes. Any level of physical ability is accommodated. The grinders operate
"winches", while the drink servers are called "wenches".

One word of advice, don't drink too much coffee that morning, as there are
no facilities on the boats. On one of my America's Cup excursions, a young
lady arrived on the boat and ask to use the bathroom. The crew member said
the best he could do was give to her a bucket. There is no "down below" on
these vessels.
