It is often said, that everyone has a book in them, or a story to tell, wherever they happen to be on their journey through life. I have wanted to tell my story for many years now, which I actually started by putting pen to paper back in the year 2000, but have since obtained a computer. I don't profess to have done anything special with my life, or out of the ordinary, but on the odd occasion, have had my moments, some of which, I choose to share. I have also visited many parts of the world; some may only have heard, or read about, and have met a few famous people along the way, depending on your perception of famous. I had sailed around the world four times before I was twenty one, so that must count for something! I have tried to "tell it" just the way it happened to the best of my knowledge, and recollection, and not to have embellished it in any way. Maybe on occasions, just a slight exaggeration, but that is a human trait we all possess. Everything I have written is straight from the heart.
