...some of the world's most spectacular scenery and a variety of activities unmatched by any comparable area on earth. They come to sun, snorkel, scuba, skinny-dip, surf, sail and swim at 33 miles of superb public beaches; to cruise the crystalline waters on glass-bottomed boat, catamaran, windjammer or outrigger canoe; to golf, play tennis, deep-sea fish and surfcast; to flight see by helicopter; to beach-walk, backpack, camp, climb, ride horseback, bicycle, nature-walk, birdwatch, whale-gaze, explore, eat, drink, shop and be entertained, all on a 729-sq.-mi. isle about half the size...
...spaceship, and living quarters are as cramped as they were for Captain Bligh's midshipmen. Says a California boatwife: "When you cook corned beef and cabbage, everything you wear next day smells like corned beef and cabbage." Miamian Tom Dixon, 35, who inhabits a relatively spacious 45-ft. catamaran houseboat he designed and built, notes that his 360-sq.-ft. living area is the equivalent of a one-car garage.

Perhaps these were diversionary tactics. Friends hinted that the couple might return to the Galápagos. If so, the archipelago that inspired Darwin will no doubt be overrun by one of the most curious creatures of all: genus scriptorum...
...killing his audiences. Martin says he is looking for "cat handcuffs." His tabby-a tiger-stripe he calls Dr. Carleton P. Forbes-has amassed $3,000 worth of "cat toys" by filching checks from Steve's mailbox. But alas, Dr. Forbes has escaped ... to Catalina. On a catamaran. Audiences invariably groan as this inventive tale turns into mushy vaudeville. Wide-eyed pause. "You think comedy is ... pretty?" leers Martin. He catches them catnapping every time. As a youngster in Southern California, Steve used to bike over to nearby Disneyland and virtually moved in. He sold guidebooks, practiced card tricks...
