To be sure, many men have accomplished much more in a two-year time span than this author, but probably not many so diverse as to what is recorded here. This memoir covers Dan's adventures in 1976 through 1978 while in his mid 40s. The title stems from his multiple sailboat races, including the exciting 1976 Transpacific yacht race to Hawaii, and his hot busy sandy years in Saudi Arabia working for IBM Corporation. He served as an expat at the giant ARAMCO oil company helping to manage their complex data processing needs. The book includes some Middle Eastern history, information about Islam and the Qur'an, plus a few trips to surrounding countries such as Kashmir, India, central Iran, France, and Northern Europe. A few love affairs are mentioned without too many details.
