Less than an hour away by long-tail boat are the fantastic islands that many of us first noticed in the James Bond film, The Man with the Golden Gun. The famous Nail Island (Ko Tapu) and Ko Phin Gan, where Scaramanga kept his secret hide-away, are right nearby in Phang Nga Bay; so much for the local geography. I really just wanted to get you into an island frame of mind, because we are headed for a land and sea adventure.

Picture this. As I watched the sun slowly set over the Andaman Sea on the western horizon, the warm seawater lapped gently on the white sand beach, the coconut palm fronds fluttered with the breezes, and a cold drink filled my hand. I had thoughts of a sailing ship, and other islands with equally beautiful, sandy ocean beaches or, quiet, palm-fringed bays or coves. Those Caribbean islands, in my mind, weren't secret; two dozen of the world's most beautiful big-busted women visited them in late March/early April of this year.

That event was the SCORE 1998 Boob Cruise. Not one, but two videos were produced, as the SCORE Group wanted to share this fantasy cruise with all of those who wanted to sail into a dreamy paradise but couldn't. If I may borrow the tag line from the videos: Live the Adventure; No, you won't have to travel over 22 hours in the air to get to Southwestern Thailand; via New York, Vancouver, Hong Kong, and Bangkok. You can live the adventure right in your own living room with the videos and ALSO on VIDEO is ready to help you do just that.

This column leads off our second year of AoV, and we have a whole fleet of bare bosoms to discuss. Got everything you need? Have you refreshed your cup of coffee? We can cast off and be on our way just as soon as you can punch that fast forward right below...
