From sailing in the merchant marine to teaching Marine Engineering Subjects at a local university . ( California State University Maritime Academy ) …. In between I guided for fish in Alaska , raised a couple beautiful daughters , and had 2 wives and 6 boats …. I’m now retired and writing …

No real adventures . A quiet 4 years spending time between the popular , the active , and the lost . Two months after graduation I got a letter to register for the selective service … and another letter that said I’d been accepted into the Merchant Marine Academy …. I chose a life at sea instead of going to Da Nang ( ironically I did go to Viet Nam … but it was the first American Flag vessel allowed to return almost 40 years after the war ended …
