Sea Cloud was a yacht owned by Mrs. Post. In 1982, Allene took a cruise of the Greek islands on Sea Cloud, at that time no longer owned by Mrs. Post. She wrote and apparently designed a brochure for Travel Dynamics, the travel company for whom she did publicity, and wrote other articles for publication. One short article appeared in Palm Beach Life. Allene apparently used some material from her Post research for the Sea Cloud writings, so there is some overlap.
