Shoreline: Pacific refuge

Article Abstract:

The cruising experience on the 65-foot Bob Perry-designed racer/cruiser sloop, Icon, in the Midway Islands, which are home to some of the rare species of marine wildlife on Earth, is reported. As some of the most remote atolls in the Pacific, the Midway Islands are best known for the amazing variety of wildlife that populates the area and the Icon's crew was lucky to get a chance to experience the beauty of the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge.
