Told with humor and candor by the one who lived it, this is a story of one man's long and diverse journey through life. Unafraid of trying new directions and challenges, he was always ready to take advantage of fate when it offered a helping hand. From a humble beginning hoeing weeds on a small Ohio farm, to Navy police duties in the Brothels of Morocco, to a long career in High Tech and finally, to sailing for years in the Pacific on the boat he designed and built, his is an extraordinary tale of adventure and good luck.
