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.
