This month's winner is Sam Leming of Indianapolis, Ind. His prize: a 17-day trip to Thailand courtesy of Djoser. While sailing Panama's San Blas archipelago, I was approached each morning by Kuna Indians in canoes selling lobster, crab, and fish. One morning they pulled up with a 50-pound sea turtle. They wanted to sell it to me for food. After serious negotiating we agreed on a price of $20 and transferred it to my dinghy. Once the Kuna were out of sight, I took a Magic Marker and drew a heart on the turtle's back-it was Valentine's Day-along with my name and phone number, and drove it out to the reef and released it.
