Autorenporträt
I have given many talks to libraries, clubs, two cruise ships and the Planetarium, and have sailed our beautiful west coast for forty years, Turkey, Greece, the Caribbean, across the USA, the Bahamas, Alaska and Southeast Asia. I am a retired civil engineer and business director in thirty-five countries. I owned nine sailboats, one of which my wife and I built from scratch in a remarkable three years in our garden and then sailed to the South Seas and Alaska.Occasionally, it is good to sit back and dream of faraway places!
