DARING EXPLOITS AT SEA INCREASE
ATTEMPTS to cross the oceans in ways never tried before are not uncommon these days, either by power or sail.

Al Grover, a marina owner and boat builder from Freeport, L.I., is one.

Fresh Air Fund Opens New World
FOR 11-year-old Raven Nicholas, the best things about spending part of her summer in Southampton are riding her bike and going to the beach. But there is also the cherished privacy of having her own room with a television set and a phone. Not to mention riding in a Porsche, sailing on a yacht and meeting Donna Karan and Puff Daddy at a private party. There is no time to miss her mother and older sister in the Bronx, Raven said, because her summer mom, Diane Guida, keeps her busy with continuous activities. If the family is not bike riding, visiting friends or off to the beach, Raven fills her time watching videos at home with the 4-year-old twins, Carley and Cassidy, or listening to music with Elizabeth, 17..

City Youngsters Find Backyards Are Fun
A FEW years ago, Meg Krasko read an article about the Fresh Air Fund in her local newspaper. The idea of taking a city child into her home for two weeks during the summer appealed to her, but the demands of a two-career household and two small children overcame her enthusiasm. She put the article aside. The idea stayed with her, however, and when she saw a similar article the next year, she talked to her husband, Ken Krasko, about it. Both of them had grown up in Bridgeport, and that city was their home until they moved to Monroe seven years ago. Ms. Krasko still works as a curriculum specialist in the special education department of the Bridgeport school system, and she and her husband identified with the idea of a city child enjoying the country. They decided to sign up, and that spring, when a busload of Fresh Air Fund children arrived in Connecticut from New York City, Nelson Barrett was there to visit them..
