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.

Pacific Ocean, Looking Down On Deck, 1982 - This photo is taken from the boson's chair up the main mast on the Sugar Bear, the 43-foot ketch that I crewed on across the Pacific Ocean. We sailed this 41-foot Morgan Out Island 42 days, not including breaks in Hawaii and Kiribati, out of San Francisco?s Golden Gate to Honiara, Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. From there we sailed up the Solomon Island chain. We had a four or five person crew depending on the leg of the journey.
