This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

Hawaii, Boat Hit By Hurricane, 1982 - I sailed to Hawaii from San Francisco in the first two weeks of November 1982. Shortly after our arrival, a hurricane hit the islands for the first time in over twenty years. This boat was out to sea and got caught in the storm. It's mast broke off! The sailor was very skilled and fashioned a mast with the use of his boom.
