| Details: |
The nature of adventure is that you don't know how it all turns out." It is a territory John knows well. He bought his first boat without the benefit of any sailing experience. Three years later he sailed across the Atlantic to spend a summer and fall in the Med with his family. Come winter he did a solo passage back across, from Casablanca to Barbados. After a winter and spring in the Caribbean, he and his family returned to Michigan. Seven years later - "after a series of cardiac misadventures" - he, Barbara and the kids embarked on a six year family cruise that took them across the ocean four times, another 30,000 miles. In John's words, "Those years and those ocean miles have served up some powerful lessons on living." |
