In 1987, Jim became the first blind person to sail a boat alone from Rhode Island to Bermuda. His objectives were to have a good time, and to stimulate public discussion on the abilities of people with disabilities.

What I don't understand , is what access has to do w/BBV. Before the '02 mid terms, I posted on a Disability board, asking what problems PWDs had w/voting. The majority of PWDs said they voted absentee.
