“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” – Ernest Hemingway

As his big sister, I know many of Louis’ deep dark secrets! Some of you know that he likes to look well. He prefers expertly ironed, collared shirts, made of a crisp Egyptian cotton. He chooses trousers or shorts made of luxurious Singapore silk, finished with a tasteful and always appropriate belt. His soft Italian suede shoes help him to glide through life, spreading infectious enthusiasm and passion to whomever he touches. Louis is a man who seeks only the best in everything that he does. He has brought the business given to him by our father, John L. Goor, to dizzying heights and all while truly enjoying every moment of the journey. A sailor always strives to look good! The boat must always be ship shape and Bristol fashion, everything in its place, clean and tidy. Louis’ penchant for the well dressed, stretches even to his boast! Irene IV was the best dressed lady in English Harbour! Louis’ has a  fetish for flags, big flags, bigger flags and even bigger flags (A Napoleonic complex, perhaps?). Deep, dark secret number 1! Keep reading the blog to find out more!
In tandem with Louis’ fondness for appearance, he lives his life, like Captain Jack Sparrow, in Pirates of the Caribbean, knowing that, “Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.”
We are living that treasure right now, as we leave Antigua behind us and head south to the French island of Guadalupe. Our Oyster World Rally became a reality today. 

  It is a toss up between Irene IV and Louis for the best dressed at the party, what do you think?
