This was our Rose Of Jericho, a blue water sailer. My wife and I bought her in Vancouver, Canada and sailed her over the next six years down the western seaboard. During that time we both had laptops and wrote five books between us. Talk about pleasure. Three years we lived on San Francisco Bay and enjoyed the city and surrounding area. In all the U.S. San Francisco remains my best loved city. We tried three years in San Diego Bay and it was not the same at all. Not enough wind and little enough action. Next we pulled her apart and stuffed her on an eighteen wheeler heading for Texas Coastal Bend area and sailed along the Interstate at 65 knots top speed.
For the next three and a half years we sailed out of Port Aransas which is at the channel head to Corpus Christi. That is where we are today.
So what did we learn along the way. Why not retire from the bad life and start the good. Move on to an ocean going steel cutter and sail off into the sunset finding what you've been looking for all your life. We were never sorry we did and we loved the adventure along the way. The sailor's life is one of independence, but with a price. One has to overcome problems at times by one's self. Self-reliance is a prime directive when it comes to being a sailor.
Yes, meeting problems head on and over-coming obstacles is a way of life for the sailor who survives. Just click on the picture. Go do it!

Don't miss my Dive Story on page 6. When you are a scuba diver with asthma, you might expect a lot of excitement. I went down to the Sea Of Cortez and wanted to dive and play with the seals of the coast of Mexico. My play was much more than I expected. I died and lived to write about it. Click here.
